**gangbangjoe** · 02-18-2007, 03:27 AM

simple answer: if i don't need it for a longer period (like during nights)

most of the time im working on my desktop computer but atm my tft is broke and in the repairshop and the crt is killing my eyes

so the laptop is my choice atm

sometimes - yeah, usually 24 / 7

**fallenmuffin** · 02-18-2007, 03:38 AM

On an added note my laptop hibernates after like 20 mins. After like 40 mins it shuts its self down

**wyldworx** · 02-18-2007, 03:48 AM

my laptop is ready for action 24/7. Come, take a seat.....

My laptop have been shut down probably 10-15 times overnight in the last 2-3 years...custom made laptops are the best....no those shitty ass dells, compaqs, hps....

Mine is on 24/7 but its killed my battery

**Sosa** · 02-18-2007, 06:32 AM

gets turned off every night 90% of the time

laptop components aren't made to run constantly..make sure you back your stuff up cuz it's gonna fail eventually.

My thinkpad has a bunch of options on how the battery is charged to extend the life when it is plugged in 99% of the time. Right now, i have it set to not charge until it gets below 90% which results in about 1 charging/month with my usage patern.

I wish my dell had the same thing

That is 100% untrue. Not sure where you got that..

I never shot mine off. Unless im taking it some place.

It's the other way around with me... how often do I turn it on? Maybe once a month...

I don't understand how that would effect your battery

**the alchemist** · 02-18-2007, 11:23 AM

I think it's either the heat, or constant topup charge, or perhaps both. I have seen several people recommend that the battery should be removed if the laptop is plugged into mains power.
