Back Up Your Files

• Back up any information that you deem irreplaceable. This may mean you back up files daily on an external server or you back them up monthly on a flash drive.
  
  

Don't Save Passwords

• Resist the urge to save your passwords on your Toshiba laptop if it is not solely your personal computer. If you allow a coworker or friend to use it, or a thief gets his hands on it, they will have access to all of your various accounts. Write down passwords and store them somewhere secure and safe.
  
  

Use Your Case

• Laptop cases are not merely fashion accessories, they help protect your laptop from harm. Laptops may be more sturdy than they used to be, but never skimp on protection.
  
  

Make Your Laptop Identifiable

• Consider taping a business card or placing your signature on your Toshiba laptop. Accidentally switching laptops is common in places of work or education.
  
  

Check Recall and Consumer Updates

• Check the Toshiba Consumer Notices website (see Resources) for any safety or recall notices. In recent years there have been safety problems with Sony batteries that could cause fires and Toshiba laptops that could overheat and cause burns.
