I have always been told not to close it and leave it on. Pretty sure its harmful to the screen. Especially if the laptop runs hot. It’s ok if it’s just occasionally providing that it’s hibernating. But Laptops aren’t meant to be left on for long periods of time.
I have been leaving mylaptop on standby 4 years with no damages to it…Yes to the computer shutoff and unplugged…Some trickle battery use is necessary.
First of all, you can leave it plugged in till the cows come home and you should be okay. Having it go into sleep mode is just fine, saves power, but it’s more of an option for battery power conservation, doesn’t make a lot of sense for when it’s plugged in.
Second, if the system is off, it won’t be drawing power from the battery. It’s off… done, no longer in need of power.
I leave mine on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for 4 years now… I don’t put it to “sleep”, the screen saver just comes on after a while. I only use it on battery when I’m traveling or away from a plug in, no worries, no problems.
Hope this helps… Good Luck!
