Hey everyone!
I got a 13 inch macbook pro in Sept for uni, which also happens to be my first laptop andI'm having trouble taking care of it.
Ever since I turned it on in Sept, I have never shut it down instead I always put it on sleep, this is because in the user guide it said that you should only shut down your mac when you are not using it for a couple of days, this is strange for me since I am always using my mac on a day to day basis and when I'm not using it, its on sleep and its slightly worrying me now, i mean even if I use it daily, should there be a time when I should let my mac rest and I should shut it down?
Also, the strangest thing just happened today, I was just browsing the internet and all of the sudden, the fan in my macbook just ran on high gear like a helicopter, personally it doesn't seem normal to me all (Im also not knowledgable in computers) but should i be worried about that fan?
After that fan incident happened, I downloaded istat, still taking a while for me to understand it but I think i'll get around it also, when I downloaded Istat, it said that my fan was spinning at some 3000 rpm and also my CPU's temperature was 80 degrees Celsius, now its in the 50's and the fan is around 2000 rpm.
anyways, i guess what I'm looking for is just ways in which i can take good care of my mac?
i appreciate your help! thank you
