I was going to buy some keyboard covers to protect the keyboard. The laptop would be left fully powered the whole time and the screen shut when I am not using it. Would this be enough to protect the laptop or would anything else be recommended? Thanks for any advice.

That is exactly what I do and it works well.

Get a black one, that way if you need to look at the laptop screen whilst taking long exposures, less light will escape.

Cheers,

Damien.
