shutting down
I've heard from numerous electrical engineers (my husband is one of them) that powering on and off electronics wears out the components....kinda like a light bulb. They never pop when the lights on. They always pop when you first turn on the light. Anyways, so it's always been recommended to me to use the sleep feature on the computer....don't shut it down unless you're not using it for days at a time or you're going out of town. I think this would make more sense then always shutting it off since the shut down wears out the components and then you'd have to buy a new one sooner and create more toxic waste. Anyone heard anything similiar? On Umbra on choosing a laptop posted 3 years, 10 months ago 4 Responses
