I have a question

[LeafSpirit 20]

Lately instead of shutting down my laptop I put it in hibernate for a whole day, or days so when I turn it on again everything will be as I left it.. is this bad, does it waste energy? Or is it the same as turning it off?

 

[some douche]

it doesnt hurt anything

I don't think so hibernating is kinda like shutting down (i think)

EDIT: well with the exception that your stuff gets saved.

I do the same and there's no problem with it.

i'm doing it for like 6months and there no problem.
maybe because my laptop is too good? xd

I did that to my computer for 3 days when I went to stay with my grandmom

I came back and it wouldn't cut back on...I tried to chrage it and change the battery but still nothing so I had to go out and get it fixed but in the end I ended up buying another one anyway

Hibernate mode is not the same as shutting down your pc, your windows explorer doesn't log off.

It consumes a small amount of energy but not much (so preferabily put the power cable in)

It's not bad to do so, but I think you should turn it off once in a while.

what do you mean? like the type of computer?

Crap... Just like mine
Lol but I have done it for more than three days now, and luckily nothing has happened

At some point you're gonna have to shut it down correctly.
It does some harm down the road if you keep hibernating it.

that wasn't the first time it happend to mine I had to get a new computer because after I got it fixed I started doing that all summer then near the end it just stoped working so I just got another one

pay less for a new laptop then to get the old one fixed

All you needed was a reflow.
