Advantages : fast recovery process status; and sleep and wake can be set from time to time, and even remote control. Disadvantages : a small amount of electrical energy consumption; sleep and wake up unable to clear the system cache and temporary files; need to restart the system updates and some software updates, always sleep without rebooting the system, then the update is complete; performance 4GB or more memory on the Mac will be the best. If you need a Mac, accustomed to sleep at night and let your Mac go to sleep, then need to reboot the system, remember to update the software of the case. Oh, you can also show off to friends about your Mac, there are dozens of days did not restart! Mac Shutdown: many users do not spend encountered in long-term is not used Mac will not shut down to her. Shutdown after all, need to quit all programs and windows all need to re-open after the reboot, the time required for a relatively long. Lion system automatically restored before the open window function, but to be honest direct wake than sleep is even worse: Advantages : most to save energy; best to maintain the hardware; cache memory file cache and so can restart to clean up; restart can important system updates or software to install. Disadvantages : restart the time-consuming re-open the window of trouble. Mac shutdown applies to extreme want to save power, or expectations of the hardware protection to the best of friends can choose to shutdown when not in for Mac. The other situation is when a few days or longer will not be using Mac or shutdown is wonderful. Mac has remained switched: Mac has remained switched is also a way, but may only server to have a similar need. The pros and cons of this choice are very extreme. Number side, you can always use the Mac does not need to recover anything, you can arrange Fortunately, late at night all download upload, and maintain backup operations; bad aspect is that the costs of electricity and component life impairment. Advantages : the use of any program without waiting for, come back down directly before work; allows the server to maintain to get access; night or other tasks when doing the backup or download. Disadvantages : the continuing costs of electricity, Mac components, including fans, hard drive, CPU, and so on are consuming, since you want to run also fever. If your machine is a server or media center takes a long time to be accessed, then it has been open. But most users really do not need to have maintained the switched state, Mac rest, she can serve you longer. Most common Mac users can basically be divided into daily shutdown] and [daily sleep two camps, which camp do you belong?
