If the distribution you
have chosen allows OEM installation (no user creation), it is time for
you to create your username and password and set up your network.

BATTERY
Try not to discharge the battery from 100% to 0% directly; instead, aim
to use the battery within an intermediate range between both extremes,
as it experiences less stress (20-80%). Try to keep it above 20%.It is also recommended to connect the device to power only when charging and not to leave it always connected.
Avoid constantly connecting and disconnecting the adapter every few minutes. Once the charging cycle is established, it's best not to interrupt it, thereby reducing battery degradation.

change it approximately every 1-2 years for proper maintenance.
If you need help during the process, you can follow this tutorial: How to replace thermal paste
To open your laptop, you can follow this link where we have some step by step video tutorials on how to do it.
**You do not lose the warranty for opening the laptop, but you do lose it if you cause any damage because of it. Therefore,
although you can open the laptop, do not open it if it is not necessary
and do not do it during the first months of use, to test that
everything works properly in a while**.
If you have little experience and you want one of our technicians to
perform the maintenance, you can contact us through the contact form at support contact form to get a budget.
