How to Move Your Laptop While It's On
- 1). Backup or save any programs on which you are working.
- 2). Close the lid, even if you are just moving across the room. Most newer laptops will go into sleep mode and power up quickly upon reopening the lid.
- 3). Slide out your chair and stand up.
- 4). Pick up the laptop by putting one hand on each side of the laptop and sliding your fingers underneath the sides to support its weight.
- 5). Firmly grip the sides of the laptop to carry it to your destination. Keep the laptop close to your body. Walk slowly and carefully and avoid bumping into other people or obstacles.
- 6). Upon arriving at your destination, set the laptop down carefully.
