Should I turn off my MacBook Pro M1 or keep it on sleep mode ? and also should I keep it always plugged in or not ?

I read so many articles but couldn't get any clear trusted answer.

Whichever you prefer. I shut my computer down whenever I step away from it. Others just put it to sleep. Shutting it down clears cache and memory.

hould I keep it always plugged in as much as I can or not ?

I keep mine plugged in when convenient to do so. Doing so reduces the rate of accumulation of battery cycles. Neither your computer nor battery will be damaged by leaving it plugged in.

If you are not using your Mac, ignore it. Walk away, do something else. It's not as though you're going to make it feel bad.


Should I keep it always plugged in as much as I can or not ?


It doesn't matter. It really, really doesn't matter.


That's how Apple designs Macs.


Clear enough?
