TonyKL Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I know its really easy to close the lid and leave the machine, it's great to come back and just open and start using but is it a problem to leave a macbook in sleep for a long time? I realise it will be using some juice but its a PITA to keep shutting down and booting up all the time. As this is my first mac just wondered on your thought Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19169-to-sleep-or-shutdown/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgrimes80 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I don't shutdown my MBP for weeks on end... I've done this with every Powerbook I've ever owned and never have had any related problems...

NeSuKuN Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I thought that sleep was suspend to ram, not to disk. :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19169-to-sleep-or-shutdown/#findComment-125776 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgrimes80 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 it's an option If you go to energy saver in the system preferences... enable "Put hard disk to sleep when possible" to get the best results on the battery (note- make sure your looking at the "Battery" one, not the "Power Adapter" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19169-to-sleep-or-shutdown/#findComment-125778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
