1. "You Should Always Drain Your Laptop Battery Completely Before Charging"

• Myth: Many believe that letting the battery drain to 0% before charging prolongs its life.
• Truth: Modern lithium-ion batteries don’t suffer from the "memory effect" like old Ni-Cd batteries. Frequent deep discharges can harm battery health. Instead, keep your battery between 20%–80% for optimal longevity.

2. "More Expensive Laptops Are Always Faster"

• Myth: A higher price tag guarantees better performance.
• Truth: Performance depends on specific components (CPU, RAM, storage type—SSD vs. HDD) and use case. A mid-range laptop with an SSD can outperform a pricier one with an HDD. Always check specs rather than assuming cost = speed.

3. "MacBooks Don’t Get Viruses"

• Myth: MacOS is more secure than Windows because they have build-in protections in their system
• Reality: Macs are not immune to malware, spyware, and viruses.

How to Stay Protected:

• Keep macOS Updated
• Avoid Phishing Scams
• Use a Reliable Antivirus (Bitdefender) for extra scanning

Bonus Myth: "You Should Never Clean Your Laptop’s Internals"

• Dust buildup can cause overheating. If comfortable, carefully clean fans/vents with compressed air every 6–12 months.
