I leave my laptop on all the time to keep the room warm in winter... after buying the laptop i cannot afford gas... :-)

I need to just load up a game and hey presto my laptop is as hot as the sun... Cheap heating!

In my opinion it is better to leave it on all the time because of the solder joints they get warm and then cold everytime you turn your pc on and off and after time they will crack!

I turn my laptop on in the morning, and when I go out or something I put it into sleep mode. At night I turn it off. My desktop I turn it on in the morning and leave it running all day then turn it off at night. I dont think suspending it will hurt your computer. It will take over 10 years for the solder points to wear out (my 10 year old computer which got frequently turned off and on is still perfectly fine.) Dont worry about it, by the time something does happen your system will be completely obsolete anyway. And if you still want to keep it you just take it to the shop to solder the points back on, or do it yourself.

Yeah that was the case way back in the day but not with modern manufacturing processes anymore.
