If it is plugged into a wall outlet you can use it all day. On battery power 2-4 hours depending on the model. It is not going to hurt it to use it constantly.

If she uses it a lot, I would reccomend she uses something like this: http://www.targus.com/us/product_details.asp?sku=PA248U
I do, and it keeps lappy pretty cool, and isn't very loud.

my laptop stays on 24 hours per day. when not in use i close the lid to keep the screen nice.

yeah there is such a difference between models, the e1705 with a 7900gs and 6cell battery can only go like 2 hrs but an e1405 with a 9 cell can last like 9 hrs
