When sensors get dusty, the laptop generally overheats and slows performance even when it\u2019s not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean sensors = stable speed.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><b>Tech Expert Practice:<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask a laptop repair expert in Dubai to clean internal sensors yearly.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change thermal paste if your laptop is 18\u201324 months old.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><b>\u2014 Turn Off Visual Effects That Slow the System<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fancy animations and transparency effects look good, but make your laptop heavy.
