My girlfriend just found tiny mite sized bugs in her laptop. Any recommendations for removal?

umm Normally i would say rubbing alcohol but if they are IN the laptop you has some issues .. if they are the little red things.. then compressed air can make them burst causing nastyness in side the pc.. I would pop off the keyboard and with a very soft paint brush and a vacume sweep them loose and vac em up.. you can also use canned air during this but be careful and slow aboutit

Also, be sure you are stroking/blowing across the keyboard, not dabbing at it. I guess you could always try running Furmark and making them all run away :P

After much research it appears the best way is to seal the laptop in an airtight bag and freeze it for 24 hours and then vacuum it out
