erm,

do you leave your notebook on overnight? i plan to leave it overnight downloading stuff. is that alright? or i need to get a notebook cooler?

I was planning on using my old P3 desktop but it seems it isn't cooperating right now.

thanks!

..naiwanan ko din ng two days bukas ang laptop ko ....

ok pa naman din wala pa din problem .or depende sa room temperature

my older brother always left his laptop turned on overnight. . . . downloading **** and movies. . . as of now no problem with his laptop, i even try to touch it if it is too hot, but it is not and take note he dont have an aircon unit in his room, he only have is the standard rotating electric fan

[userfriendly]

Its perfectly fine to leave your laptop on 24/7. Just make sure that the fans are not blocked. I leave mine on days at a time. No aircon, no electric fan. I do have my laptop undervolted and it helps in keeping it cool. If you are concerned about heat, try getting a notebook cooler.

I do suggest na gumamit na lang ng laptop coolers, kahit na siguro yung USB-powered cooler na may fan.

boss Kikko,maganda lang cguro gamitin iyan USB powered cooler kung naka plug ang AC power mo kasi kung hindi mabilis ma drain ang Battery kung doon din galing ang power source ng fan cooler

ganda naman laptop ni sir boybi..

I leave my notebook on all the time, 24/7, also without any A/C or electric fan. I do use a USB notebook cooler to prevent it from 'overheating'. I suggest you get a notebook cooler made of aluminum as the plastic ones didnt last me very long. Depending on the size of your notebook, get one with 2 big fans or a model with 3 normal fans.

uy nice sir boybi... same tayo ng laptop a month ago ko nabili, sayang, i have to pay for the upgrade of the RAM, ikaw free hihihi...

nweiz question lang, we have been advised kasi na kapag full charge na yung battery, much better na let it run using the battery...totoo ba ito? hindi ba pwede na always its running on electricity?

[boybi]

kapag lithium ion na ang batt, ok lang na laging naka plug sa AC.

how much did you pay for the RAM (512mb?)?

3,800 po, nakipag haggle pa nga kami kasi 4500 is the original price, eh alam ko mga 3K lang yun ata...eh since walang stock dun sa isang shop, dun na lang kami bumili sa pinagbilhan namin ng laptop....

tnx for the info, i am wondering kasi kung lagi kong ichcek kung bat full na sya....hehehe...pwede naman palang nakaplug sa AC

[boybi]

3K lang ba yung 512mb? 4500 din sabi sa akin nung shop, kung alam ko lang na 3K lang, humingi pa sana ako ng additional freebies

[kimpOy]

ayos ah 5.8K a month...

yes, just like your celphone(most of it are Li-on battery)same ways for its maintenance to have a longer life of battery. Li-on battery can be charged anytime. Make use of battery, less cost on electricity.

is there a way to adjust the contrast of the monitor of laptops? masyadong bright kasi yung white sa screen, medyo nakakasilaw magbasa. buti pa itong LCD monitor ng desktop ko, hindi masakit sa mata.

[BlueBimmer]

dba may FN key ang laptops, dun inaadjust ang brightness..pero wala ata contrast

they do not have bright /contract adjustment but you can go to display properties, click "appearance" then "chick color scheme". select which is okay for you, then click okay

Kung 5V, ok lang. Minimal lang ang consumption. Pero meron kasi yung mga 12V, tri-fan aluminum laptop cooler. Yun medyo madugo na sa power consumption.

[boybi]

yup, pero kelangan ko is contrast adjustment. try ko nalang siguro palitan yung color scheme.
