I am using MacBook Air 2020 model and daily moderate user of laptop. what is recommended for better battery life and system performance/ shutting down Mac end of the day or putting into sleep mode
I also shut down daily or at least every 2 days. As mentioned, a shut down and booting up will clear up clutter and possible glitches. In the old days, it would be faster to leave it running, but the machines are so fast nowadays, that argument has become completely irrelevant.
I startup and shut down daily. Restart will clear out some clutter in the system. This will not impact the battery life on M1 machines..
I'm not sure about this, but I never shut down my MacBook, except when I know I won't use it for longer than a week.
(On the handy, best practice to be gentle on the battery is to never drain it to zero, never fully load it to 100%, and not use fast-loaders (or as seldom as possible). MacBooks probably aren't the same, but I try to adhere and at least not drain it.
what is recomended. shutdown or sleep for macbook air.
