    I would say it depends on what end of the spectrum you're on. :) If you're using a cpu farm (which I'm sure you're not), it could seriously eat away at the life of your components, but typical usage, even heavy gaming (if heat is not a problem) is normal. If you take very good care of it, don't overclock, don't have heat issues, don't abuse it, your laptop should last many years. :)
    Also, some can't agree on this, but frequently turning on your laptop every day is probably more harmful than leaving it on for hours a day.
    If you have a good warranty too, I wouldn't worry too much about it. :) Just remember to try to keep your vents dust free.
