Is it bad to let my Macbook pro 13' run for 2-3 days or more?

Im trying to dl some stuff but it takes some time, so I was just wondering if it's bad for the comp to be on for many days (its connected obviously). thanks in advance

no, you can leave it on for days/weeks/months/years at 100% cpu usage and have no issues as long as you keep it in a ventilated area

Cool, thanks. I think you can consider a wooden table as a ventilated area? Air can go below it i think

It is more of a worry of confined spaces where the heat continually builds up. If your computer is in a room, I wouldn't worry about it

Just don't put it onto a carpet, or a blanket, and don't put anything behind it where the hot air gets blown out.
