hello. a good laptop with re-inforced cooling can easily operate continuously 24/7 in a suitable environment. However, this is not a good habit - that is using or leaving your laptop on extended/prolonged periods of time. Yes, it will heat-up, your cooling system may be able to handle that for quite sometime, but the build-up for a longer period will accelerate aging/deration of the components inside. Also, remember there are moving parts inside such as disk, fans, etc - continuous operation will shorten their lifespan. Yes, it will also hurt the battery and shorten the lifecycle. Your number one enemy will be heat - it may not get extremely hot, but the sustained temperature will beat your unit badly over time.
correct po ...marahil ganyan nangyari sa acer laptop ng panganay ko kasi madalas maghapon magdamag naka-on ang laptop niya, may cooling fan sa ilalim at may naka-tutok pang electric fan ...madalas kong pagsabihan na baka masira kung wala ng patayan kahit na may fan siya ...di nakinig sa akin kaya noong last week nagtatanong sa akin kung saan niya puwedeng ipagawa kasi nasira na daw yata ang video card na built-in pa naman sa laptop....
Ibig sabihin lang nun.. di durable ang material.... Computers must be made for 24/7 usage. At kung hindi man pwede, nasa manual yan na di pwedeng tumagal ng 24/7 kung talagang di pwede. Otherwise, magkaka-kaso sila.
Kaya nga kung mapapansin ninyo, lahat eh may documentations.
PS: Computer is meant for 24/7.... It depends on your power supply kung di ito kayanin. Pero ang bundled, ingat na ingat sa stability ng product nila.
