Safe to move around a laptop while it's on?

post #1 of 39
Thread Starter 
Hi all.
Speaking specifically about modern laptops with hard drives, can it cause harm to move around the laptop while it's on? I'm hearing mix signals from everywhere.

Thanks in advance.

Most laptop hdds have built in protection for falls, where if they start falling, the read head parks itself to prevent damage.

Laptops are sturdy, never had one fail on me due to falls or anything.

(although I had a dells screen fall off, never buying dell again)

It would kind of ruin the purpose of a laptop, if it weren't to be moved while on tongue.gif I moved mine around a lot when I used mine on a daily basis, you're all good smile.gif

Oh, cool. Thanks guys. smile.gif
I'm relieved. I just bought a new Asus lappy a few months ago and today is the first time I moved it around a lot in school while it was on.

No, not like an ipod. An iPod has flash memory and can fit in your pocket. Not the same as a laptop with a mechanical hard drive that you can only fit in your backpack Please get your facts straight.

Moving a laptop is fine as long as you don't shake it or drop it while it's on.

Define moving it around. Are you gently moving it around carefully? Or are you running around jumping up and down, slapping it against door jams, and dropping it on the floor? smile.gif

Meanwhile, I use my dell sensibly, and the screen falls off.

You sir just need bigger pockets!

OP more laptops are also starting to use SSD's which have zero moving parts, so you could take it on a roller coaster with you if you so wanted. tongue.gif
