[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1066748, member: 46727"] I don't think it really matters since a modern Mac computer, whether it's a notebook or desktop uses negligible amounts of power. Like Technologist said, it might amount to a dollar or so a year. Now having said that.... if you live in an area where severe weather moves fast and the likelihood of thunderstorms and lightening is great, (Texas and Florida are good examples) I highly recommend powering down and remove the AC adapter. Even an UPS is not sufficient for protection during a severe lightening storm. Regards. [/QUOTE]
