I am purchasing a Macbook Pro next week for myself, and I know enough about taking care of a laptop and getting the most out of it, but I just have one small question for those who know a little more about laptops/computers.
Considering I will need this laptop to take me through the next 4 or so years to come, I want to make sure I keep it in the best possible state.
After reading the manual for the newest version of Macbook Pro (13"), it says that the laptop should be put to sleep, unless I don't plan on using it for a couple of days or more.
It just sounds a little strange to me.
So let's say that I'm going to bed at 12pm/1am and don't plan on using my Macbook again until 11 or so the next day...would I be just putting it to sleep or is it better for the laptop to be shut down over the course of +/-10 hours?
Thank you in advance! (link)

It is completely fine to just shut your Mac and let it sleep before you open it again in the morning and it's ready to go. However, it is good to shut down your computer every once in a while and also to let all the battery drain out of it before you recharge it again (like, once every month).
I'm using a Macbook Pro 13" at the moment and that's what I do. I've had it for over a year and a half and haven't had any problems with it at all. Extremely good purchase. You won't be disappointed.
