Laptop usage Time!

Hi,

I have got a problem! i mean the problem is too small but big too!
Let me explain!

Before i had a Desktop computer and i used that! every! day almost 9+ hours and on week end(sat and SUN)! i use 15+ hours! as i use to see some entertainment movies, develop some software etc!!! websites etc!!!

But now i don't have my desktop any more!!! i donated it to one of my cousin who needed it at that time!
Now i have notebook of Acer Aspire! but my MAM was saying me that you can't use your note book same as your computer i mean every day 10 hours and on week end 15+ hours! the laptop is not that much hard to bear that all weight on IT!

so now i want to know is is it true? i mean i can't use my laptop for that much long time! and if i use it for this much time and it had damage! what can be the maximum damage????? and WHY!
and it will be effected on Battery or charger in any ways?

waiting for answer!

Faisal!

 

prob battery is shot. Mine is. I probably use mine the same amount of time but i'm not bothering to turn it off so often now. The cooling on laptops isn't as great as desktops so things like hard drives, ram etc do get a little warm from time to time so fans have to work harder. I don't think that there is much damage going on just above average wear and tear. Personally I wouldn't worry about it. If you are then remove your battery when it is on mains or do like some and charge it discharge it loads. A cooler will make it runn cooler and nicer for longer if you haven't already got one of them.

 

My laptop runs for 10-11 hours a night, 4 days a week while i'm at work.
The other 3 days at home, it probably gets an average of 5 hours a day.

I've had this laptop since August, 2006. And the video card has been overclocked since October, 2006.

At work, i elevate it to improve airflow. At home (where most of my gaming is done), I've got a zalman nc1000 cooler for it.

I only started removing the battery while plugged in a couple months ago.
I have no problems at all.

Likely the first problem would be that the battery will wear out. In my laptop, that's not as big an issue, since it's not really built to run on battery.
Heat is your biggest issue in a laptop. And heat builds up over time. So a cooler is definitely recommended.

 

If you don’t experience power outages, and use the notebook mostly as a desktop replacement, then take out the battery and run it off main power (that will save the battery).

I also use my notebook more than 10hrs per day on average, and sometimes leave it overnight. It should be fine as long as the notebook operates at safe temperature limits.

Using a notebook as a desktop will shorten the lifespan, but your notebook will be outdated much sooner than it will die due to heavy use. So don’t worry about it.

 

Wrong section?

Anyway, I'd recommend a cooling pad [or maybe even just a laptop stand] to improve temperatures and airflow. With better temps, you can expect your components not to wear out too fast. And with those long computer usage times, having a computer run cooler for loooong periods can be helpful.

Also, as has been already mentioned, you can remove your battery if you just plan to use your laptop as a "desktop", a computer stuck to your... desk. lol. It can save the battery some charge cycles.

 

My laptop is my only computer so I'm at use with it from 8AM to 11PM. Stays fairly cool on a notebook cooler and with my CPU fans adjusted accordingly.

 

Well! thanks! but can you tell me is it possible if i take out my batter and make my laptop direct?>?> i think it wont work!

HELP!

 

Your laptop should work fine with just the AC power connected. It should not require the battery to run if it is plugged in.

I also recommend taking the battery out if you plan to have it plugged in for long periods.

 

well thanks for your answers! i have one more question! when i put my battery out it should be charged or fully empty????
