[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1453275"] Generally speaking -- and according to Apple -- the system is designed to be put to sleep (you don't have to close the lid, but that's one way of accomplishing that) if you're coming back to it relatively soon, and should be shut down only if you're going to be away from it for a while (they don't define it exactly, but I'll offer "more than two days"). The LATEST MacBook Pros have a feature called Power Nap which DOES INDEED do things like updates, backups, maintenance and more during sleep. Earlier models do NOT do this. [/QUOTE]
