Hi folks,
I just recently got a Vaio VPCEJ2B1E and it's working very well.
My only question is whether it is recommended I should hibernate or shut down the computer at night?
For example, if I was working the next day, and I put the Vaio in hibernation mode it would be in hibernation mode for perhaps 18 hours or so. If it was a weekend, or I wasn't working, and I put it in hibernation mode it would only be in this mode for 10 or 11 hours.
What is recommended?
Thankyou!
Hi bingefeller,
I personally would recommend shutting down if the computer will not be used for more than 4 or 5 hours.
Power consumption is minimal in hibernation but a restart will clear out the inevitable memory leakage that occurs when the OS is active for a prolonged period.

Hi Rich,
Many thanks for the helpful reply. I have actually got into the habit of shutting down completely at night time. I think that, on your advice, I will continue with this practice.
Thanks again
