Deciding On A Laptop For Personal Art And Occasional Gaming Use Are Chromebooks Ok

Is it bad to leave my laptop on all night/all the time?

In short, the idea that you should turn your laptop/computer off when it's not in use is simply a myth.  The only thing you're doing is conserving power and giving yourself a slight inconvenience when you want to use your computer/laptop.  For most it's not a big deal, and we do it simply for peace of mind. Specifically speaking, in regards to your laptop, as long as there's adequate airflow and your device can keep itself adequately cool as to no over-heat, the only real concern would be your battery.  You'd be slowly beating up your battery lessening it's effectiveness as time goes.  Now in all honestly, you won't notice any difference if you did this for a month straight, and likely no difference even at 3 months straight.  But as time goes on, you'll notice your battery won't hold a charge as long as it used to during day 1.  But again, laptops typically have a life expectancy of 2-3yrs before they're sat aside and replaced.  Now if your laptop sits on your desk 7days out of the week, I wouldn't stress over battery degradation because you're not going portable with it anyway.  But in short, there's nothing to worry about.  If you're stressing, set your laptop to go to Sleep or Hibernate after X number of minutes/hours.  Personally I recommend Hibernate as opposed to Sleep, just in case the power goes out or you wake up and grab your laptop and run out the door you don't have to worry about the battery's capacity level.  But that's not to say anything is wrong with Sleep.Is it Bad to Shut Down My Computer Regularly or Leave It On All the Time?
