Your Computer: Do you turn it off overnight? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Do you turn off your computer overnight or leave it in the stand-by mode?

I put mine in the stand-by mode most of the time but turn it off completely about 2 times per week.

I usually shut my computer down each night before I go to bed...

Same here. I do put it to sleep though during the day.

I shut mine down every night, especially if it wants to add updates.

MrCleveland · 12-10-2010, 12:57 AM

It varies....

I keep it on some nights and sometimes I'll turn it off.

Yes.

I don't usually shut off the desktop too often.

I shut down my laptop when I am not using it.

I always shut mine down when I'm done using it, unless I know I'm going to go back online within a couple of hours. I even turn off the power strip.

I have a MacBook Pro, and they're pretty good about going into hibernation mode after they've been closed a certain amount of time. That said, I do tend to shut it down a few times a week.

Ohio8 · 12-10-2010, 08:14 PM

I do.

I actually don't use my computer that much,so everytime I'm finished using it I turn it off.Plus it's a laptop,so I figure why keep it on.
