[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 668113, member: 24098"] 1) I suppose you mean without letting the machine go to sleep too? If so, probably 12 hours or so. I don't really experience heat issues with it unless I'm really running something intensive on it. 2) I don't leave it running with the lid closed, period. Frankly, the lid inhibits natural heat dissipation and if Apple intended it to run while closed, they would have offered the option in Energy Saver. If I want something to run overnight, I just turn the backlight off on the display and leave the lid open. Another side benefit to doing that is that the fans don't have to work as hard, thereby lengthening their lifespan. [/QUOTE]
