    Hello,

    I bought an Acer Laptop 5672WLmi 3 months ago.

    I want to leave it on 24/7 for torrents etc. and convenience.

    I have a chill pad and blow a fan on the laptop 24/7.

    I put the monitor screen on black [fn + F6].


    Is it OK to leave my Acer Laptop on 24/7?


    Thanks in advance from a newb who wants to learn.

    as soon as you don't close the grids for the fan it's fine, i do the same most of the times...

    If you really want to assure it will stay cool, pop off the bottom panels and use a chill pad that blows upwards.

    Thanks for the responses AlexMagik and PRH.

    I don't want to remove the bottom panels.

    Alex: what do you mean by 'don't close the grids for the fan?'


    Thanks again.

    don't leave your laptop on carpet or bed, but intead leave on a desk or hard places like a table, the grids for the cpu fan and ram/video card are on the bottom of the laptop, if you leave it on a carpet or bed, it will overheat for sure.
    leaving on a table will be perfectly fine.
