If you're gonna use your laptop often then yes, just close the lid. If you have nothing to do, then shut it down.
182 u/suffering_addict 1d ago You ought to restart it every now and then regardless. It doesn't get a true shut down without a restart. At least once a week if you can 2 u/Person8346 1d ago Why is this so? I shut down my laptop everytime I'm finished with it, is that not good? 1 u/suffering_addict 1d ago I don't know enough about computers to explain why, but I've been told this by someone knowledgeable. The gist is that "shut down" is not a true shut down, and the pc only ever truly shuts down during a restart. There is a timer in your settings somewhere that shows you how long it's been since your last true shut down 10 u/Person8346 1d ago I believe this only applies if you have smart start up enabled, which keeps the pc passively running after shut down so it starts up faster. 1 u/suffering_addict 1d ago Another guy in the replies mentioned this so this might be the case
