Many people are probably confused about this question. They use their laptops almost every day , and shutting down and restarting the laptop every time wastes time and requires closing open software and programs, which is very inconvenient for studying and working. So they simply don't shut down the laptop every time .

Does the laptop need to be shut down every day?

A laptop is not a tablet, and certainly not a mobile phone. Although they are used in similar ways, they are two completely different devices when it comes to turning them on and off.

Although mobile phones and tablets also need heat dissipation, most of them rely on the thermal conductivity of the material itself to dissipate heat. Laptops are different. Regardless of whether it is a core graphics card, an integrated graphics card, or a discrete graphics card, there will be at least one fan inside the laptop . If the laptop is not turned off and is turned on for a long time, the fan will keep turning. Even if it is an original fan, although of good quality, it will also wear out if it is in a rotating state for a long time.

Whether the laptop needs to be shut down every day depends on personal usage habits and scenarios. For normal laptop performance, a week is a cycle. As long as you can ensure that the computer can be shut down normally once a week, it will basically not harm the computer. However, if you do not shut down the computer for too long, the electronic products will continue to wear out, causing damage to electronic components and eventually the laptop!

Therefore, if you do not need to use the laptop, there is no need to keep it turned on all the time. The so-called standby mode cannot replace the shutdown operation. Moreover, scheduled shutdown will allow the laptop to rest and extend the service life of other internal accessories.

Can leaving my laptop on all the time damage my laptop?

In theory, a laptop needs some hardware to work for a long time, even if it is just in standby mode. If these hardware run for a long time, they will easily generate heat and form a high temperature environment, which will damage the hardware and shorten the life of the laptop .

In addition, if the laptop runs at high load or high temperature for a long time, it may cause safety hazards such as spontaneous combustion of the computer, which is the most terrible. Such accidents are not uncommon in the media, so don't ignore them because the probability is small.

Not shutting down for a long time will put a certain amount of pressure on the laptop's hardware. The battery is the most directly affected part. Even when the laptop is in standby mode, the battery will continue to consume power. Not charging or undercharging for a long time will gradually shorten the battery life.

When is the right time to shut down your laptop?

Laptops are like cars running at high speeds continuously. They need proper rest. If they are not turned off for a long time, they may cause certain harm. Therefore, the computer still needs to be turned off regularly, and it is not recommended to turn it on for a long time.

Regular shutdown does not necessarily have to be done at a specific time. When you have finished your work or study and have not used your laptop for several days, you can shut down the laptop in time and give it a rest.

Intel China's official Weibo account has explained this issue. The official account said: "If you leave your computer on for a long time, there will still be some impact. If you leave it in sleep mode for a long time, the memory will not be reset, which may cause excessive memory redundancy and slow down the operation. Turn off the computer when it is not used for more than 12 hours, because frequent shutdown of the computer can easily damage the computer motherboard and other components. It is recommended to shut down or restart the computer every 2-3 days while ensuring that there is sufficient power."
