    Am I killing my laptop??

    I have my laptop running almost 24/7 for more than a year now... without having the battery plugged in of course?
    I start to realize this can't be good... so at night... is it enough to put the machine in standby or does that not really help keeping my machine healthy? I do not feel like switching it off completely.

    Since the HD thread went so well I will try your tech comments again... feel free to flame

    Why not, just keep it running but keep it cool enough.
    It can run for years

                    I turn mine off when I'm not using it, but that is not very often -

                      It'll prly kill ur battery life. I would take the battery out.

                      Other than that, leave it going

                          If there are times that you don't need it to be on then turn it off. Let it rest once in a while. And yeah, keep it cool enough.
