How Long does your comp stay up for?

[Bimmerfanatik]

I was told once that it uses less power staying on than turning it on and off every day. Is that BS?

How could that possibly be true?

I dunno, i didnt think it was true, but someone was convinced. And as a rule I never rule anything out until I double check it. You never know.

Something about using more energy booting up every morning instead of just leaving it on overnight. I have no idea what the logic was. Or if there was any. :)

I let my Mac laptop run until there's a software update that requires rebooting. But I do put it to sleep when I'm at work or sleeping.
