I have always kept my laptop on, but for obvious reasons have started turning it off when not in use lately. This has coincided with two separate hardware failures during the boot process after the laptop had been completely shut down.
As I am hoping to purchase a new gaming laptop soon, I wondered if anyone has any thoughts on how the strain of the power off/on cycle and it's dramatic temperature changes, compares to the added strain of being in use without respite. I have encountered conflicting thoughts on this issue online.
