Always power up and shut down your laptop or do you prefer power-saving mode (lifetime)?

My laptop is on my living room table and I use it throughout the day to google something etc.

Sometimes I shut down the laptop completely and then restart it an hour or two later.

I wonder whether it is better for the life of the laptop to only ever switch it to power-saving mode, or whether it is better to run it up and down 3 - 5 times a day…

Better leave it in energy-saving mode, I'll do that too, and that won't damage the laptop

The laptop doesn't really care.

With such short cycles, it is purely in terms of time (although this is in any case ibsolet in today's age) to only use the standby for a short time. If you can't take out the battery, which is standard nowadays, it is better to disconnect the device from the mains and let it run out every now and then.

There's also a sleep mode

I say yes: power saving mode (energy saving mode)

In terms of wear and tear (battery etc.)

Good tip to extend the battery life.

I've always done it this way with my devices (even if it doesn't really matter because the box has to be connected to the network when gaming).

Ne sleep mode - you have to activate it first via the energy settings
So it goes down - without consuming electricity - but starts where it left off

When you're not using it on the go or transporting it to work, you can put it into sleep mode.

If so, ALWAYS switch it off, otherwise the hard disk can be damaged in sleep mode. Windows 10 is inactive, but it still runs in hibernation!

I let my batteries run out every now and then but otherwise I leave it out when it is not needed!

There's nothing that can "wear out". At most the bearings from the fans.

As for the battery:

It is designed for up to a thousand charging cycles. But if you keep your laptop connected to the network anyway, it doesn't matter.

What a battery Can't handle:

To be fully charged all the time.
To be constantly deeply discharged to the stop and
too much heat.
