Do not poke the LCD screen with a pen or sharp objects. What will happen though is it will damage the LCD and the display will end up looking like a rainbow.
Try to keep the laptop on a flat and clean surface: Placing laptop on congested place and working, there are chances of damages to laptop. Therefore, it is better to place laptop on flat and clean surface that avoids minor damages to laptop and frees from dust.

Battery:
Do not remove or insert the laptop battery while the laptop is running. This is a pretty obvious one, but it’s definitely worth mentioning. The users should always shut down your computer completely before removing the laptop battery, or you risk some serious damage.
Use the 80/20 method: The main principle is that a laptop battery should never (or at least seldom) go below 20% or rise above 80%. It’s not easy to stick to that rule all the time, but if you’re able to then your battery will probably last a little longer because of it.
Do not leaving your computer plugged in overnight or for any extended period for the sake of your battery health. There’s a good chance you’ll occasionally forget to unplug.
Never let your laptop battery run out. This is one of the worst things for both your laptop battery and for your computer itself. As frustrating as it is when your computer goes to sleep before you can reach a charger, the harm of letting that happen is even more severe than you first realize. To avoid damaging the hardware (including the battery) be very wary of letting your laptop battery reach zero percent.
