    you mean you're hearing the fan/cooler in your laptop, and you're worried about that? me personally, i'd only be worried if i didn't hear it... ;)

    well obviously it won't last as long as a laptop used 1h a day... but as long as you don't have it running CAD calculations or rendering all the time, it shouldn't take actual damage.

    As whizzo said, it shouldn't cause any damage. However, you may want to keep an eye on the heat sink and fan as they will get caked with dust eventually. Some fans are easy to remove, some are rather complicated to remove. It all depends on how the computer was designed.
