I leave mine on at work 5x24 (shut it down for weekends since it's a 
waste of power).

I have one at home that is on 7x24.

Both are set to standby after X period of time.  This saves on the heat 
issue and saves power consumption when you are not actively using the 
laptop.

Being doing it this way for 5+ years with DELL and IBM laptops.
