My laptop has currently been on since last Wednesday. No problems. I frequently leave it on for several days.

Sleep is advantageous (with the aid of fact it exceedingly lots basically powers the RAM). however in case you could go away your laptop working each of the time relies upon how that is cooled, something with vents around the keyboard that is blocked whilst the lid is closed had greater useful be in sleep or off (BTW: hibernation is off) yet greater quite designed laptops ought to have the capacity to run all night with the lid the closed (you need to a minimum of turn off a visual exhibit unit you're no longer using). Any laptop with a great cooling gadget ought to have the capacity to be left working constantly for long classes of time with out issues (as of top now my laptop has been on for 21 days and 3 hours). Oh and don't subject concerning the battery, Li-Ion cells do no longer go through memory result, do no longer must be discharged to "come back" lost capacity (although a discharge each few months to recalibrate the battery meter to handle the lost capacity which you will no longer be able to come back no remember what you do continues to be a reliable thought). in case you heavily isn't using a pc battery for an prolonged volume of time that is appropriate to discharge it to 40% capacity (no longer under) and stick it interior the refrigerator (no longer freezer) to decrease the getting older technique yet once you're using the battery purely save it crowned up as much as you could and view out your appropriate to no longer discharge it (they only final quite a few hundred cycles).

Put it on a hard surface if you can, put something like bottle caps under the laptop, and you can leave it on. I leave mine on all night quite often.
