Shutting down your MacBook also prevents it from running the essential maintenance tasks automatically. Some of these tasks include receiving new messages through the Mail app, and the Contacts app keeps updating across other devices, calendar invitations, and updates.
All these apps and tasks will stop working if you shut down your Mac completely. Plus, you may be harming its components more than you would by putting it to sleep. Toggle Dark Mode.

On the other hand, it is advisable to shut the computer down completely if you intend to store it for 36 hours or more. Shutting it down, in this case, will help save the battery life and lifespan. It also helps you optimize its operation, ensuring that the computer runs optimally the next time you use it.
Another important point that you should bear in mind while storing your MacBook is the temperature of the storage area. Temperature plays an important role in ensuring that a computer works efficiently. Thus, storing your computer within the temperature of 50 and 90 degrees Celsius, as anything below or above these two temperatures, can be detrimental to the operation of the computer. There are lots of differences between these two power states when dealing with a Mac computer.
The difference between these two power states ranges from functionality, power consumption, and many more. Below are some of the differences between the shutdown modes and sleep mode on Mac computers. The Truth. When you sleep your Mac computer, it stops all the processes and applications on the computer from running and transfers their memory to the RAM of the computer. Thus, only the RAM draws energy from the computer battery while other hardware such as hard disk, and the rest are switched off.
All of these actions point to the fact that your Mac computer does a lot of work without draining your battery while on sleep mode. These processes and activities cannot run when you shut down your Mac computer.
While on shut down mode, your Mac computer stops all processes from working and goes off. It also clears the operational memory of the computer, meaning that there are no currently running processes on the computer. Powering the computer after shutdown means that you would have to wait for all the processes and programs on your computer to get initiated once again. This mode saves battery life as no hardware, software, or application drains power from the software while on shutdown mode.
Having come thus far, it is important to decide which of the two modes is beneficial to our Mac computers. This decision should be made bearing the longevity of the computer battery and the need to optimize the performance of the battery.
Knowing whether to sleep or shutdown your Macbook can benefit the longevity of the hardware… especially the battery. Healthy in the way the battery can maintain a maximum capacity in its lifespan It seems a short time compared to what I heard. This is more like a personal opinion. All my question comes down to that in fact, and cannot be answer by a psychology number, can it? You clearly pointed out that all the question cannot be answered in relation to some benefit for the system, but rather for the battery life.
So: how is that dependent on how often the system is shut down? Show 4 more comments. I appreciate a lot this answer which states clearly some important ideas that sum up to what I was looking for: for MacBook models, we should decide whether to shut down or enter sleep state by focusing on which method can keep the battery healthy.
I think the usefulness of that is very much dependent on usage. So it is near impossible to give advice that is good for everybody. Lately, updates requiring reboots seem to be rare, so for me at least, such reboots are too far apart. I typically find my laptop feeling a bit sluggish if it's more than a month or so since the last reboot. Some apps have memory leaks. By using apple system monitor or another app like that you can see when this happens.
However all this is empirical Marc Marc 31 1 1 bronze badge. Being merely in sleep is another matter, which is fine. Ruskes Mamonu Mamonu 6 6 bronze badges. Nice, so the question is do you have any numbers for prolonged life? And your conclusion is not correct, they say keep the juices flowing, not shut down. Buscar - I see nothing in that quote that supports the idea that shutting down a macbook air is preferable to closing the lid sleep. In fact all the linked article is only about battery - while my question is not restricted to that - and doesn' t entail the idea that "ON charge AND in sleep mode is bad on the battery".
It only says that it is meant to be charged after using it unplugged in view of a new such use, and not to leave it plugged in for a long time. But what is the relation between these ideas and the other one: "You don't want the Macbook to be for a long time on and in sleep mode.
The later may be false. But it may be shut down or sleeping. Do you turn off your iPhone?
