Sleep mode vs shut down?
|
I've ready complex articles about this. I have a macbook pro 15" (mid-2009) I just bought 2 week ago. I know for sure that if I'm taking this computer around such as from home to school, I will shutdown the computer for harddrive safety purposes.
Otherwise at home, left on a desk all day and not carried around, is it "healthier" for the computer to put it in sleep mode at night instead of shut down? I know you gotta reboot every so often if you leave it on sleep mode though.
I've read some people put their macbook pros on sleep instead of shutdown for months. Is this safe?
I've also heard that shutdown and turning the power strip off (keeping laptop unplugged) at night is good for the computer? I know it may use about 1 watt during sleep mode while plugged in or something? This is so confusing!
