    I was just wondering how long I should leave my Ferrari laptop running with AC power to download a movie. It probably takes 8-10 hours straight to download the movie, and I want to know if its hard on the laptop for it to run that long. Will it overheat at all or damage anything? (I wanted to leave it on overnight...)

    That should not be a problem. Make sure the laptop is kept in a dry place away from sunlight. The cooling system on newer laptops are capable of taking such use. Overnight should not be a problem since the ambient temps are also cooler & downloading is not too intensive task.

    Also take care to place the laptop on a desk where the air flow is not obstructed.
