Hi, I have a question about the Macbook. Some people believe it is NOT OKAY to turn off a MacBook, and others believe it is completely OKAY to turn off the MacBook when we are done using it. Could you please tell me which one is correct here? Is it okay to use sleep mode when we are done?
MacBook Pro
Either one is completely ok. Seriously.
Longer answer: Apple designs its products so that you don't have to concern yourself with details regarding their use. Yes that includes details as simple and mundane as turning them on or off. You can shut a Mac down if you don't plan on using it for a long time (weeks) but other than that it's better to just let it sleep. Shut its lid if you want to. Or not. Some people have cats that are fond of walking on top of the keyboard thereby waking it up. They might want to shut its lid.
Personally, if I'm not using a Mac, I ignore it. They work best that way.
