I haven’t shut down my mac in over 1.5 years... at some point the speakers didn’t work anymore but then I restared the mac and the they worked again lmao
I just like to hear the start up sound
This was very valuable information. I’m 80 and just bought a MacBook Air after using PCs forever. I love this computer but it does require a learning experience. Thank you SO much for providing a clear and concise tutorial.
As a recent MacBook user, I appreciate this video. Thanks. I thought shutting down the laptop is the healthier option. I realize I'm wrong.
I'm glad my laziness and forgetfulness contributes to my productively... Wow that somehow makes sense
Years ago I managed all the Apple products at a private college before going on to Apple. One young lady about to graduate came to me as her laptop was running slow. I asked when was the last time she rebooted it. She replied "When you helped me when I was a freshman."
But keeping in sleep mode will also run some tasks in background. It will drain battery and reduce battery health
For newer macs, sure. As a DJ, I have an old 2011 MBP that I only use during gigs, so it doesn't make sense for me to leave it on sleep mode since it will go several days to a week without being used and by the time I turn it on, there's no battery power left (battery was changed a couple years ago). It's better for me to shut it down and turn it on later where I would still have 99% battery life when I start the next gig. Though in the first 5-6 years I rarely shut that thing down and it was used daily.
This is actually one of the things I love about Apple computers. From my old Mac to my new one, and when I used an iMac, I rarely shut them down. And restart only when needed
From a first time Mac user, thanks for the info.
this! was one of the big question and debate for years.. I was one of the people who prefer sleep rather than shutting down since it would faster to use, yet I don't have the fact or supporting information behind it, thank you mate! And congrats you were growing so fast, deserved it!
Every electronic devices have its lifespan, shutdown it when you not using it for specific time can prolong the life
It's just so satisfying to open your MacBook and just start where you stoped without any stops
I’ve been shutting mine down, I’ve only just bought it, so I’m glad to have seen this video. Thanks!
When your laptop has longer sleep hours than us humans. 😩
It had been my practice to shut down my computer when I don't use it and open it the next day when I do. Thanks for the info. Would definitely start doing this from now on.
I last shutdown last year in August😂😂, I jst put it to sleep when I am done working for a day.
i mean, it's called "sleep" for a reason? and good thing i stumbled upon this video, im here in my mba m1 that i got yesterday and im giving it proper care so it can be good as new once time passes, thank you very much!
So glad I came across this video! I always shut down my laptop every time I’m done using it. But lately, I have been putting my MACBOOK air to sleep! I always thought I have to shut down the computer to conserve electricity! The only time I shut down my laptop is when I’ll be traveling for a few days.
