Do you ever use mstsc.exe to remote into the laptop? If so, it has to be running.
I'm not sure what you mean by good practice. Leaving it on behind a good firewall is a reasonably safe thing to do. If other people can physically get to it when you are not around and it is not password protected, that's bad.
If you are worried about hardware degradation, don't. Unless you are a place where power browns out a lot, or there are power surges. Chances are fairly good that MS will deprecate your OS before you lose siginficant hardware. This has happened to me several times - Windows 95, CE. Now, XP will be down into the junk pile shortly. It came out in late 2001.

pm-powersave
PM-POWERSAVE(8) pm-utils User Manual PM-POWERSAVE(8)
NAME
pm-powersave - Put your computer into low power mode
SYNOPSIS
pm-powersave [{true | false}]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pm-powersave command.
pm-powersave can be used to set your system into low power mode.
OPTIONS
true
Put the computer into low power mode to reduce energy consumption and extend your laptop's battery life.
false
Turn off low power mode.
FILES
/etc/pm/power.d/, /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/
When you run pm-powersave it combines the scripts in these two directories and executes them in sorted order. If both directories
contain a script with the same name, the one in /etc/pm/power.d/ has a higher precedence and only this one will be executed.
Therefore to disable a script from /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/ simply create an empty file in /etc/pm/power.d/ with the same name and
without the executable bit set.
