ah that explains something, ppl around here say that you can leave a PC running for like a week without problem, it just may become a little bit slow, but it can fuck up a laptop. obviously i didn't know of that before of wrecking it

Tend to turn it off whenever I wont be using it for over two hours.

i leave it on no matter what

don't electrical appliances still consume electricity when they're turned off but still plugged in, I was at the movies last fri and they show random crap up on the screen before the movie and one of the facts was that if you unplugged ur tv when u weren't watchin it, u'd save x amount of electricity, my friend and I were like wth who the hell would do that

ah, yes, i will never have a laptop as my main computer. overheat too easy, and they're a bitch to upgrade.

i just leave it on, it takes like half an hour to start up because of all the scandisks and anti virus shit etc takes forever to load windows etc

I think the longest I've left my computer on for is about 3 days. It's on all day every day, but I usually turn it off at night. The last couple of nights have been an exception though.

Not bad, but it does slow down a bit after about 16 hours of use.

Just so people know, I've had my laptop for about 6 months, its been on nearly the entire time, I don't get any slow downs, the fan runs at the speed it needs to cool it down, but it rarely comes on since my CPU consumption is about 5% normally (unless playing a game or using an intense program), so, so far so good, had 0 hardware problems, only problems are Winblows XP, but this might not be true for all laptops so be carefull anyway laptop owners.

off when not using. it gets hot in here when its on all the time. sometimes its on when im downloading

On weekdays I turn it on after I get home from work and turn it off before I go to sleep. On weekends I turn it on when I get up and turn it off before I go to sleep.
