  Why not? There is no point in turning it off. Just close the lid and it goes into a deep sleep mode. It’s super efficient and it’s ready to go instantly if you need it.

  It’s don’t know anyone who turns their MacBook off when they don’t use it.

    I’ve never really been a Mac user primarily so I just adopted the best practices from Windows and Linux. If macOS is supper efficient that way then cool.

    I still wouldn’t leave it on 24/7.

      Do you also turn off your phone at night? Or your tablet?

        Personally, I don’t think mobile devices such as cell phones or tablets should be lumped into the same category as personal computers such as laptops and desktops.

        Like, sure, they are technically still computers, but they are treated more as always on assistants.

        Personally, I leave my cell phone, tablet, and smartwatch on 24-7. Only restarting when I have an issue, it needs an update, or the battery dies. However, my desktop, Laptop, TVs and game consoles are turned off as soon as I’m done using them.

    Adding on, I don’t think I’ve turned off my MacBook in years. The only time I remember turning off a MacBook was when I put it away in storage for a while.

  I don’t leave mine running 24/7 either, but I fully cut off the power when I’m not using it. The dock is plugged into an extension cord with a switch so I can easily cut the power after putting the laptop to sleep or shutting it down.

  I don’t know if I’m typical, but neither desktop or laptop are ever fully off for me under normal circumstances, sleep mode is the default
