This article is to introduce to you the misunderstanding about the computer. The computer is a relatively expensive electronic product. Proficiency in basic computer operation skills should be an essential skill for everyone. In addition to using skills, there are some misunderstandings that we need to know and avoid.
Misunderstanding 1: Reinstalling the system will cause great loss to the computer
Compared with the loss of reinstalling the system and playing games, more loss lies in the re-erasing of the hard disk. However, for the overall disk life, there is no need to worry too much. Moreover, reinstalling the system requires backing up important data, reinstalling software, and re-personalizing the system. It is simply too troublesome, and few people are willing to reinstall frequently.
Myth 2: File fragments should be cleaned up in time
Computers equipped with mechanical hard drives need to be defragmented regularly, otherwise they will become more and more stuck. However, unlike a mechanical hard disk, the physical address of data in a solid-state hard disk is constantly changing, and defragmentation will cause unnecessary erasure and write, thereby reducing the life of the flash memory. Therefore, for a machine that uses solid state + mechanical hard disk, it is recommended that the system, cache and data files be stored on the solid state hard disk, and files such as movies and music are stored on the mechanical hard disk.
Misunderstanding 3: Long-term use of the notebook plugged in will affect the battery life
For notebooks that often use batteries, this problem can basically be ignored. For notebooks that rarely use batteries, it is recommended to unplug the power regularly and use the batteries to avoid passivation of the batteries.
There are actually many misunderstandings about the use of laptop batteries and power supplies. The correct practices are as follows:
Lithium batteries don't need to be recharged when they run out of power!
The first few charges of the new machine do not need to be fully charged for 12 hours!
Don't use the automatic shutdown to recharge, just charge and use as you go!
Misunderstanding 4: Frequent shutdown is not good for the computer
There is no such statement in the case of normal shutdown, but it is recommended to restart after a while after shutdown (or you can use the restart function directly). As for long pressing the power button to force shutdown, it should be avoided as much as possible. Of course, the forced shutdown in the state of blue screen and crash is due to helplessness, and the second is that the computer is not working at this time, so the impact is not great.
Misunderstanding 5: Apple computers cannot be poisoned
In fact, as long as the operating system is likely to be poisoned, whether it is windows, macOS or Linux. The reason why we seldom see macOS poisoning is because the user base is small, and Apple’s software installation certification is strict, and there are fewer viruses for macOS.
Myth 6: Quad-core is better than dual-core, high frequency is better than low frequency, i7 is better than i5
A very simple example can break this statement. Are 4 children stronger than 2 adults? All comparisons need to be compared at the same level, and only one parameter cannot be compared.
