Laptop parts that work perfectly outside are yet to be created and made widely available. This is a shame, because part of the beauty of a laptop is that it can be used whenever, wherever. Yet outdoor laptop use is still pretty impractical for most of us.

It should all be so simple, but unplugging the relevant laptop parts and hitting the sunshine is not really a possibility yet. However, if you long to be able to use your laptop parts in the great outdoors, there are a few things you can do to make the experience a little bit easier.

1.    Stick to the Shade
This is not just advice to protect your pale and nerdy complexion, it is also a way to make sure laptop parts like your screen perform better in the outside world! LCD screens are almost impossible to read in direct sunlight, but if you find dense enough shade you may well be able to see what you’re dealing with. However, given how dense the shade will need to be for you to work effectively, you may as well be inside!

There are some good ways of manufacturing some shade for your laptop parts, especially if you get creative. But, in the end, if the sun is bright, it is still going to be hard to see your screen. This is why, if you are serious about getting real use out of your laptop parts outdoors, you will need to invest in a professionally made laptop shade, or an outdoor use screen. Just like the impressive Kindle screen, some hi-tech laptops include screens that work perfectly indoors and out.

2.    Protect Against the Elements
Water, sand, grit, dirt, high winds – your laptop parts will deal with some of these better than others. But water, dirt and grit are terrible for laptop parts. There are a number of ways you can combat this. Keep your laptop in a clean, fully sealable plastic bag when it isn’t being used, or buy yourself a high-tech, ‘ruggedized’ case which will withstand tornados. These are two ends of a spectrum and there are loads of in-between measures you can take to keep your laptop parts safe outdoors.

3.    Retain Power for Hours
If you’re working outside you probably won’t have access to a mains plug. This means your laptop parts will drain quickly of battery life. There are a few ways to preserve battery life away from a plug. Buy yourself an extended-cell battery or keep some spare, fully charged batteries with you. You may soon be able to rely on solar power for your laptop parts, but solar technology is not yet advanced enough to power a laptop. However, keep your eyes peeled, it’s sure to happen soon!

We just bought one of the flying sharks that's been on TV recently and it's awesome fun, it really is! We saw it on the Johnathon Ross show so being the gadget freaks that we are here at Parts4Laptops we found them at Air Swimmers Flying Shark and bought one. We took it to Clinton Cards where it cost £2 to fill up, and it's currently parked in the office here. Everytime someone comes in they want to see it in action and have a play with it.

Brilliant invention, we absolutely love this thing and we've named it Lenny (from Shark Tale).
