[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 622541, member: 24098"] Bingo on that last sentence. A Bluetooth external device can wake up a sleeping Mac, even with the lid closed. And yes, just closing the lid should normally put the machine to sleep - there is no need to select sleep from the Apple menu unless you want to leave the lid open while it sleeps. In my experience, no. About 50 of the 100 or so laptops that I support in my work are kept almost constantly charged. As a result, those that are not regularly drained tend to last longer - sometimes double or triple the normal lifespan. However, I have heard many people give opinions to the contrary. It's a crap shoot really. Use your laptop the way that makes sense to you. Batteries are consumable and will need to be replaced periodically either way. [/QUOTE]
