MacBooks use practically no power when in standby. Turning it off actually uses more power than leaving it on (due to the time and processing power it takes to start everything back up).
Leaving it on also reduces wear on components. Being on all the time doesn’t cause a lot of wear, it’s switching between on and off that causes wear due to the component warming up and cooling down.
We’re talking a MacBook, not a desktop Windows machine. There is no benefit to turning it off and a lot of downsides.
Practically no power isn't 0. It's up to 3watts. For comparison a Pixel 10 at 100% CPU is 6.5 watts.
Oh no, 3 watts. How will I cope with the €0,00 that is going to cost me?
I bet you throw your trash onto the street too. "It's just one plastic cup. One plastic cup doesn't matter."
How is that in any way equivalent?
You are throwing away 3 watts/hr because you can afford it while ignoring the tiny environmental damage it causes.
What environmental damage?
I’ve got 5400Wp of solar panels and a 15kWh home battery. Excess solar power generated during the day is stored and used at night. With the exception of a few months in winter all my power is self generated using solar.
Even when I use grid power in winter I have a contract with the energy company for 100% renewable energy. In winter it doesn’t matter anyway since that 3 watt eventually ends up as heat which means my heating system needs to produce 3W less.
That's really awesome. But your power setup is very unusual. Few have solar with full battery power storage.
Solar is very common, and I suspect battery storage to become really popular (at least in my country) in the coming years due to legislation changes.
All of you are reading way too much into it. Turning a computer on and off doesn't hurt it. Leaving it on all the time doesn't hurt it either. A MacBook will last at least ten years if taken care of decently.
As far as the battery thing, mine's still at 100% output (not charge) after 2 years. I set the charge limit to 80% (OP is incorrect — macOS 26.4 didn't set the charge limit to 80%, it didn't set it to anything, it gave you the option to limit charge to 80, 85, 90, or 95% charge, or disable it if you've enabled it) and it's fine, I imagine it might last a few months longer, but I don't expect it to radically change the physics of Li-Ion battery degradation.
Batteries are still a consumable item. MacBook batteries are generally known for their reliability and longevity, though.
It's very important for these internet people to be recognized as right by a group of anonymous strangers. Failing that, they very much need to make those strangers feel bad in the process.
You're right, I guess I still think calling something a feature implies that you can turn it off.
