[QUOTE="WakeCarver, post: 968377, member: 37501"] Totally agree with baggss, you can just shut the lid on a laptop when not in use, but you should shut it down when placing it in a bag. If the lid comes open while in a bag it could wake up and overheat, although in theory it should shut down on its own before any permanent damage occurs. As for my desktop I usually reboot every 30 days or as required for software updates. I never just turn it off though. [/QUOTE]
