I tend to use the Sammy all day long, on and off. But I don’t know if it is better to hibernate/shut down the computer or put it in standby if I am not going to be using it for an indeterminate amount of time. Sometimes I don’t know if I’ll be away from the computer for 30 minutes or three hours…what is the best thing to do? I know that leaving it running all day isn’t good, but I don’t want to shut it down and turn it back on three or four times a day. I used to leave my desktop on all day so it would be available whenever I needed to use it, but don’t know if this is a good idea with the netbook.
Just wanted to get the opinion of what others do when using the computer all the time but not continually.
Thanks 🙂
I tend to use standby during the day unless I know I’m going to be away from it for a long time (more than 4 hours maybe). I only ever use hibernate if the battery is getting very low and I need to keep some programs open.
I doubt that leaving it on all day will cause it any harm, though if it’s running on the battery while you are away that would be a waste as you would be ageing the battery (using up charge cycles).
I think really it’s best to just use it however makes the most sense to you.
