Do you shut down or put to sleep?

I always turn off my computers (IN THE OS!!!), saves power, boost longevity of the machine and well not everyone has a ssd and mechanical hard disks can die from being powered 24/7. Not sure about mobile devices though, I have my smart phone on all the time

 

Both, depends really. If it's the weekend and I'm going to open the laptop again in the morning, I usually don't shut it down when I go to bed. I try to shut it down during the week though.

 

I shut my computer down like once every 2 or 3 weeks when I'm forced to because of updates but otherwise it's mostly on or in sleep mode. I never shut down my phone nor my tablet either.

 

Shut down as my desktop system is close to my bed and the noise annoys me.

 

Funny that you mention the noise, I'm the opposite. The white noise of the fans soothes and lulls me into sleep.

 

My laptop stays on all day and gets shut down at night. Ever since I updated to Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn it's been acting all kinds of weird. One time I had it asleep in my backpack and it started up by itself and nearly over heated.
Not making that mistake again.

 

I usually shut down

 

If I am not at home, my computer is not on. Otherwise I keep it open to listen music or such even if I am not playing games.

 

In order to save the batteries I shut down my computer and iPhone. If I need an alarm in the morning, I have an ordinary clock radio that also displays the time.

Once the iPhone battery is at 100%, I unplug it, overcharging (overheating really) the battery shortens its life.

 

My PC and notebook, run 24/7, while occasionally being restarted for windows updates and various other tasks that require a restart. So far i've had no problems, but then again i'm one of those people that are quite OCD about maintaining their tech. I even lubricate my own fans...

As for noise... A FD Define R4, bunch of FD fans and a Seidon ensure that i can sleep quite peacefully, even though PC is in the same room as bed. As for notebook, well... have to hand it to ASUS, they know how to make good cooling.

 

Depending on the device I always keep it in sleep mode but I turn my phone off every week because a surprising amount of updates require your phone to be off

 

I almost always shut down my computer. Unless I am leaving it for a very very short amount of time. My computer messes up more when it is put to sleep.
I get lazy with my iPod and just put it to sleep. I don't feel like turning it off all the time.

 

My iPod and phone have a routine. I turn them off every night, though usually I never turn them off during the day, just sleep mode (unless I know I'm not going to be using it at all that day for some reason).

The laptop varies. Probably why it's doing so much worse than my mobile devices. If I use it before going to bed, I usually turn it off, but during the day I put it to sleep (thus, if I don't use it at night at all, it usually gets left in sleep mode through the night).

 

If I'm not home or I'm asleep, my laptop is off. It's kinda old (5 years) and if I don't do that it gets starts going annoyingly slow. I turn off my iPod too if I'm not using it. My smartphone is on 24/7 though.

 

I shut down my computer but not my cellphone.

 

I shut down everything except my iPod

 

I put my laptop in sleep mode until I go to bed at which point I turn it completely off.

 

Your suppose to turn it off?
