    Hi
    I bought a HP Omen gaming PC January 2020 and have used only once or twice. I really wont be using until college in September and was wondering am i neglecting it by not using it all the time or will it still be as good as new come September.
    Thanks

    It will be good as new, a laptop isn't going to deteriorate physically because of lack of use, the opposite is true in fact.

    Should be grand really. They'll probably be a few windows updates to install, sure turn it on and leave it idle a few hours then restart and you should be up to date.

    Change the glow plugs and filters if it’s a bit slow starting up.
