Well hello everyone.
I have a question that i had for a while even with i had my Windows laptop.
Alot of my friends and i see people here too who either never turn off or they always let their computer to sleep and maybe turn it of once in a while maybe every 2 months.
The way i use my Macbook is in short bursts what i mean is, i turn it on use it for 2-4 hrs then turn it off go do whatever then come back again turn it back on and use it for another 2-4 hrs then shut it down by this time its sometime in the night so watch TV and go to bed.
So my question is: is there any harm in turning on then shuting down then back on again then back off..............and so on?
Is it better to let is sleep by closing the screen isntead of shutting down?
Any other benefits to letting it sleep other than it turns back on pretty quick?
thanks
