I use my computer often in the afternoon after I come home from school- use it for 45 minutes, don't use it for 30 then use it again. Would it be more energy efficient to turn my computer off and then turn it back on again when I want to use it again, or just put it into stand by? A negative effect to putting it into stand by is sometimes I forget its in stand by and leave it like that overnight.
Another question related to this:
I can just shut my laptop lid with all the programs running and everything, and the laptop will go into like a "mini-stand by " mode- the screen goes black but all the programs appear within like 3 seconds after I open it. Is this version of the stand by, with a quicker start up time, more or less energy efficient than normal stand by? Normally when I shut it, I can still hear the laptop running for about 45 minutes, then after which it seems to go into a real stand by mode.
Thanks for taking the time to read all this! I hope I'm not too confusing.....
