[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1674657, member: 46727"] A lot depends on how stable your power is in Budapest. Does the power fluctuate a lot (up and down, brownouts, etc.)? Generally, turning an electronic device on and off imposes wear and tear on the power supply and other components. Most electronic equipment nowadays is built to withstand that, but wear and tear does build up over time. Keeping the machine on at all times in sleep mode avoids that type of wear and tear for the most part. However, if you live in an area where the power is not stable, then turning off the machine when you're not around might be best. Only you can decide that. You might want to invest in a good UPS.
