  We routinely use a laptop to monitor traffic on our network, because we can
easily move it from place to place.  But it may sit in one place, on and
monitoring traffic, for a week or more at a time.
  If yours has an option to turn off the screen when not in use, that might
be a good idea.  But I can't think of anything else that might be likely to
have a problem with 24x7 usage.
