Fanless compacts should, obviously, be used 'sparingly' and never left on when not in use. FWIW, I understand there's a balance between minimising the effects of the stress caused when a machine is turned on, and the 'electronic wear and tear' while running. My totally semi-random guess would be that after a few hours the latter outweighs the former. Then there's the environmental impact - effects of power generation etc etc - which to me says that machines should never be left on overnight unless they're being used.
