With the extra cooling it should be fine especially if it drops into low power
mode when you're not using it. My parents are running an old AMD laptop that
has rarely been turned off for 7 years. I'm amazed the damn thing still works.
They have it on a generic laptop cooler rest with fans.

Subject: [H] laptop 24/7
I am currently in temporary quarters for the next couple of months.
With my WS I never turned anything off it would run untill I had to
reboot for updates. I have sent up a temporary office using a Lenovo
Edge I7 Quad core, my good mechanical keyboard, mouse and a 24 inch
monitor. The laptop is plugged in and sitting on a Thermaltake giant
fan laptop cooler. I turn it on in the morning and turn it off at
night. I would like to just let it run all night as I want it to keep
checking mail, and be ready to use when I turn the monitor back on in
the morning rather then having to boot up, and set everything up
again. Does it hurt a laptop to let it run like this 24/7? Thanks
