Mine is supposed to go to sleep, but I don't power it down. But it also is rarely unplugged unless in transit to or from the office. I have a dock at home and the office, so my battery might get an hour if I attend a meeting in person (rare).Here.
Question for the IT people - does it take more power to restart and charge up a computer daily vs. leaving it on and charging? I've been making a point of putting my comp to sleep and turning off my docking station at the end of every day, however I find that it has died overnight and recharges through the day.
Am I better off keeping it separately plugged-in in sleep? Or just saying fuck it, turning it off, and restarting every morning?
If you do a lot off battery power then turning it off would be preferred. But if you are like me and usually tethered, don't sweat it.
