Leaving a computer on all the time can be noisy and distracting due to fan noise, and can cost you in electricity. On the other hand, shutting down and restarting a computer regularly could cause your components to fail earlier. So what’s the…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends / Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Gaming laptops used to all look the same. For the most part, they were thick, loud, and ugly. Not so today.
