[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1745776, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Morries[/B] - well, you'll be getting a lot of different opinions, but I agree w/ [B]Ashwin[/B] that many of us here let our Macs 'sleep' rather that shutting them down each night - here's a four year-old article by [URL="http://osxdaily.com/2012/04/10/shutdown-sleep-or-leave-mac-turned-on/"]OSXDaily[/URL] that is still pertinent as to explaining the options, although power management has improved in recent years w/ Apple's introduction of the [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204032"]Power Nap[/URL] - check the links; also, pic below of my MBAir's System Preferences showing the latter activated. For myself, I let our iMac (early 2013; 'Power Nap' on) sleep - only 'shut down' when we leave the house for more that a couple of days; for my two Mac laptops, I leave each attached to power - only shutdown/reboot when asked due to an upgrade/update/installation; so, my two cents! :) Dave .
