So I left my laptop on the floor for a few days and went to pick it up and the lid had lots of dust on it.

I dust my room once a week so I don't know where this is coming from. My room is in the attic so that could be it?

Anyway I'm looking into getting a dust collector that will purify the air. Can anyone recommend me one please?
 
Dust is usually from dead skin, tissue/paper or fabrics (bedding, new carpet etc.). You will generate lots of dust and it is normal to need to vacuum at least once a week.
 
To be honest, I'm in the same boat as you, house vacuumed and cleaned once a week and I have also noticed a layer of dust on my laptop. I've tried keeping the bathroom door closed when spraying antiperspirant but my wife likes to spray her's in the bedroom. Its the only thing I can think of that can cause this in my scenario anyway.
 
It is inevitable that every room will get dust. If you left your house with nobody in it for a month, I guarantee you, dust will be found.

Although it isn't specifically for dust, if you have a search for EcoAir DD122FW-MK5 on Amazon, it includes an ioniser which helps to purify the air - it is a dehumidifier as well so I wouldn't run this whilst you're in the room (it has a timer so you can put it on for 2/4/8 hour bursts at various selectable levels. Plus its good to dry clothes as well!

You can buy separate ionisers but to be honest we've had them and found this to work just as well and it so happened we needed a new dehumidifier anyway. Maintenance is only emptying the water collected and hoovering the dust filter every few weeks.

Alternatively if you have a desktop PC, just sit it on the floor - dust for miles will come running into the fans and over your equipment ;-P
 
You only really notice dust when you have a hardwood floor. I'll never have carpet again, disgusting the amount of dust/detritus they soak up, even with hoovering
 
I've got carpet. Might just try this: Bionaire Compact air purifier BAP9240-IUK. It does the ionising thing a d reviews suggest it has helped lower dust in rooms.

What I was thinking.

We have a Henry hoover which isn't overly portable and I manage to do a 20' by 20' room with freestanding wardrobes, wooden blinds, ceiling fan, all skirtings, carpet and corners of walls in 10 minutes, probably less. That even includes stripping the bed and hoovering the mattress.
 
Dust outside of laptop you can wipe off - its fan also pulls its through the laptop (passive smoking:)) so open it up every year to clean its lungs, like vacuuming keyboard occasionally (never had a crumb jam the mech ?)
If you spend a lot of time using the laptop not surprising if there is disproportionate amount of dead-skin/dust nearby, plus could be attracted by static
... this could be in laptop health thread - probably a lot more comments
