Reservations for overnight laptops can be made online or in person at the Libraries, and laptops will be available to pick up from the Bird Library Lockers no later than noon on the day the reservation begins.
So I have an HP 14-af118au laptop that I've been using for about two - three (maybe? I forgot kek) years. Since I have been living in my own room (and college), I have been constantly falling asleep while leaving my laptop on, leaving it on overnight for 5-8 hours or so.
Here are the things I've done to my laptop:1. I left my laptop on overnight in high peformance, no automatic sleep mode, while charging (Quite a few times)2. I left my laptop on overnight in high peformance, but with sleep mode and charging3. I left my laptop on overnight, but didn't charge it, so it lost its battery and shut down by itself (most common so far)
I have an external fan and my room has AC. But I have a timer to turn it off at 2 AM and I usually tend to my laptop at 6 AM or so. I'm worried because my laptop have been emiting faint metallic smell (perhaps burning?) and I would really like to keep it alive for more years to come.
Running it overnight isn't bad for the laptop at all. The worst is running it when the vents are covered. This is very easily done with beds. Do NOT stick a laptop on a bed/blanket/sofa and block the air vents. Even if it is just on and not doing anything, blocking all the vents will quickly heat it up.
So I recently bought the new HP Omen 15 2020 Series laptop, seeing how all the tech YouTubers are saying that its performance is great and it's a great bang-for-the-buck gaming laptop (Well, it's not cheap by any means though).
For the first few weeks, it was working perfectly well and I was extremely pleased with its performance. But just overnight a couple of days ago, when I turned the laptop on and tried running a game, (Destiny 2 to be specific) my frame rate had dropped from a constant 144 on highest settings to 10 on lowest settings. I thought it might've had to do with Destiny acting up, so I tried to play Roblox, which is not a graphically-intensive game by any means. Usually, I play on Graphics quality 10 and get the max frames for Roblox, which is 60. But to my surprise, I would get
Since this laptop is set to use an integrated AMD Radeon graphics card for normal workspace tasks, and switch over automatically to the dedicated GTX 1660 Ti for games, I thought maybe it was having a problem with switching between the two (which could be the reason why I would get good frames for a split second every once in a while).
I have looked up online on how to fix this problem, and a common answer I got was to go to the Nvidia Control Panel and Manually set Programs I choose to run on the High-Performance Nvidia Graphics Card. I have tried that, along with a variety of other methods including but not limited to:
- Doing all of the recommended Windows Updates
- Updating my drivers for my GPU('s)
- Changing GPU Usage settings
- (Again,) Setting the default graphics card for my laptop to run on
- Restarting my laptop
- Running HP Performance Tune-Up
Expecting for my new, amazing laptop to run smoothly for at least longer than a month out of the box, I still haven't created a restore point, which I regret not doing. I am going to continue searching online for fixes, but I am worried that I will end up changing something that makes my situation worse.
Something that I will soon try is msi afterburner. Not sure what it does, how it works, or even if my laptop can run it/is compatible with it, but as something I have seen people often recommend to others in my situation, I feel as though it could be worth a shot.
After changing some things, my laptop is using the correct graphics cards now. When running Roblox or Destiny, my 1660 Ti is running them, while google chrome in the background is using the integrated card.
but, even after that issue was fixed, it seems that my problem may be rooted in my CPU. My CPU is the Ryzen 7 4800H, and so running roblox and destiny should not be too overwhelming, especially on the lowest possible settings.
Just recently purchased my laptop with a habit of it being charged while using it but I always unplug it whenever it reach 100%. This time I just finished playing some games like call of duty then decided to turn off the laptop with 25% battery in it and plug it in overnight but when I woke up I still see the red light indicating that the laptop is still not fully charge so I decided to turn it on and the battery is still 25% then I notice that it only started to take charge when i turned on the laptop. Could this be an issue with the charger or battery?
Most laptops cool best if you 'tent' them, open them about 1/2 way and stand them like a capital A on the desk. That lets air flow around all sides, point a desk fan at it if you're still worried about heat.
So I'm a trainee Automation tester and I have been given a laptop and have been told I need to run test cases overnight using Selenium. This requires me to have my laptop on all night running our applications test cases. I would then analyze the results in the morning. I also work from home.
It might not sound an issue, but I don't live in a large house and so I have this running in my room, therefore I can hear the laptop running and the light from the laptop is visible. This could potentially mess up my sleep. I'm also not confident about the safety of this, what if I want to go out for that night, I'd be leaving a running laptop unattended, seems like a potential fire hazard to me. Also I'm not sure about how much electricity this would cost me in the long run.
Is it normal to have a laptop running all night doing this? It's not unknown.Is it a fire risk? Not really. I'm sure there are reasons why a laptop would burst into flames, but running overnight shouldn't do it.Will it cost much in electricity? No. Laptops don't use that much.
Talk to your DevOps team. They should be able to set up a selenium environment that runs on one of their servers so that your overnight tests do not require a laptop at all. You can log in remotely to check results, and/or they can be emailed to you.
When I was running test automation, it always ran overnight. I usually remotely connected to a work desktop (or more typically, several desktops), where the actual job was run, but occasionally would run them from my home laptop instead.

I'm going to level with you - I'm a little concerned that your team hasn't implemented this solution yet. It's basic infrastructure for test management and there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't use it, precisely for the challenges you listed above - no one wants to run automation on their laptop for 8 hours.
A laptop doesn't create a fire risk but it's overstepping for your company having you do any kind of business activity after business hours in your home. Someone will propose - "all you have to do is leave it on!" but if you're responsible for leaving it on, they're probably legally liable to pay you as if you were working. (I am not an attorney.)
Your employer can't force you to keep running their laptop in your room outside of your working hours. Noise is just one of the many factors here. After work, you are entitled to use your desk however you wish, including ways which are not compatible with a company laptop. E.g. you could drink tea/beer at your desk while watching a movie, and I'm pretty certain your company has a policy against food and drinks going near their electronic equipment.
So you can certainly object, and if you push hard enough, your employer will have to find another solution. Having said that, you should consider how much you value your employer vs. how much trouble it is to run tests overnight. I know I would find a way to run tests for my employer.
Talk to your boss about this, your concern of a fire hazard is valid and should be taken seriously. most office grade laptops are not designed to run intensive tasks overnight on a regular interval. also, even if the light can be fixed in the settings. The noise can be a real issue when trying to sleep.
It's not about absolute values, like fire hazard or electricity costs. It's about YOU not having the infrastructure necessary to run the laptop overnight. Don't ever say that "This could potentially mess up my sleep". It's a fact.
As others have mentioned already, the proper technical solution is to run long tasks on remote machines and then access the results over the network. Using laptop in place of a 24/7 server is amateurish.
Point of order: while it's certainly not appropriate for the company to tell you to leave your laptop on overnight running tests for them, this is not your laptop. You say that "I have been given a laptop" for company work, which implies that it's their property.
Even if you're in a small house, or for that matter even a small apartment, you should be able to put it somewhere other than your bedroom and close the door. You should also be able to find a way to make the laptop continue to run with the lid closed, (exact settings vary from model to model, but it's not difficult,) so it doesn't give off light. Just make sure it's in an open space with nothing blocking the fans or vents and the risk of fire will be negligible. A laptop that overheats is designed with safeties that will put the computer to sleep rather than risk physical damage to the circuitry, let alone a fire breaking out. ff782bc1db
