after done using ur computer..

you turn it off? or let sleep?

which option is better? i've always shut down, but my cousin is telling me i should just put it to sleep. hibernate

I only hibernate if Im not going to use the computer for more than 4 hours, I shut it down at night though.

Mine is always on no sleep/shut down

On 24 hours.

My Laptop hasn't been shut down in over 2 months.pie-junior

I leave it on all the time. Only time I turn it off is if I am going to be gone for more than 24 hours

I leave it on all the time. The only time I ever turn it off is when I leave for a few days.

I let it go into sleep mode.

Always shut it down, I don't like to leave computers running for long periods of time without using them.

I shut mine down when ever I leave the flat or go to bed. Think of the planet with all of you using pointless electric leaving it on when not in use, I don't even leave my tv on stand-by.

I shut it down especially in nights.

I typically shut it down. Making my PC go into sleep mode messes with some of my programs.

I dhut it down at night. When I am on a job, I unplug everything that my PC is plugged into as well as other vampires. I can have $30 power bills while others have $100+.

dem 100 watts o no
1 100 watt incandescent
and if ur using a laptop on 24/7 it uses like 25 watts

also a tv in standby probably uses around 5 watts, that is absolutely nothing

a mcirowave uses like 1000watts

I rarely shut down my laptop, I usually just let it hibernate.

Most of how we generate it is. Gas, Coal, Oil......finite things. Untill we can generate it from other means safely and constantly it is not something to forget about.

Shut down - I need to clear my RAMmarkop2003

On my lappy 8 gigs o ram, i converted videos with handbrake, used premiere, after effects, and played all sorts of games and my ram went back to mostly normal. 5/8 gigs as I type this, ofc 158 processes in bg.

That reminds me....it's been about 4 - 5 days since I turned mine off.

Usually I just get too tired and fall asleep without bothering.
