Approximately 7 hours a day.
I turn off my laptop when I know I won't be using it for an hour or more.
the home computer we turn it off as soon as we are finished or if someone needs to use it we leave it on for short periods of time
my laptop which is the only computer i use for AF is only on when i need it.
if it gets to hot noisy fans go on
Mine's on while I'm at home, but if going anywhere bar a quick visit to the shops or something I turn everything off. Powerboards connected to powerboards coupled with a wire jungle leave me hesitant to leave the power on unless neccesary.
My computer turns on for 8/9 hours a day.
My computer is on pretty much all day I use it alot lol I turn it off when ever I go to sleep.
My computer is usually on when i'm using my free time, doing homework or when my dad is downloading something on Torrents.
I keep my laptop on at least 4 to 5 hours in week days and in weekends it on at least 8 to 9 hour.for same reasons downloading movies.
My computer is usually on for 9 - 10 hours daily & often it remains switched on beyong this duration.
Since I got a laptop, I shut it off everyday. I am too afraid of damaging it by leaving it on all the time. o.o
I have a laptop but the charger cord is in storage. Well actually its my fiance's laptop. But when he goes to basic he is giving it to me so I can work on my book. And I use the internet on his backflip phone.....anyways. when we had the cord it was on all the time.
I don't think I've turned my laptop off in about two months.....
It's still ticking and that is what counts ^^'
I turn off my laptop every night around one or two in the morning. It's back on at seven or eight (AM).
I'll turn it off when there are nothing to download, doing maintenance/repair/upgrade and I'm not in the house more than one night. Other than that, I'll leave it on and the red LED fan help me sleep at night with music player on sleep mode.
I only turn it off when I'm not downloading anything, mostly I am, and they are pretty big files so I leave it on a lot.
I rarely turn off my laptop, except when I need to take it somewhere else or won't use it for more than a day. Otherwise, I leave it on Standby if it's not actively doing anything for me.
I usually keep it on for at least 3-5 hours then turn it off for at least 24 hours. Don't want to overheat my computer and laptop yet.
It's only off sometimes.... I usually keep my laptop on stand-by.
Usually several weeks at a time. I generally leave it on over-night to torrent and I'm using it for a good portion of the day. I'll reboot it for updates, and shut it off if I have plans that involve me being out all day.
Well, I would say "forever", but then that would imply that I never change my computer, that it can last forever, that I'll never die, and that the universe will never end.
In seriousness, I do shut it down every now and then. But that doesn't happen all that often... at all.
Lets just say the hotness meter on my laptop gets to the danger zone. Being unemployed sucks.
My computer is only off when i'm lugging it around, occasionally it's off when i sleep but usually i just close the top so the backlight turns off. it's normal or me to leave it on for days at a time.
Why the long face? That's a win, at least for us.
