Created Tech | When Should You SHUT DOWN Your Mac? (it might surprise you) @CreatedTech | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
How often should you shut down or restart your Mac? Should you let it sleep instead? In this video I explore this topic in greater detail and also give my opinion on why you should NOT shut down your Mac every time you are finished using it!
Your Mac performs a number of beneficial tasks and processes while it sleeps, and if you prevent this from happening, you may find your Mac's performance may suffer. I personally very rarely shut down my own M1 MacBook Air, and I'll share with you my reasoning.
