    Do you regularly "shut down" your computer?

    Excludes hibernating, putting to sleep, etc.

    Do you?

    I used to hibernate my laptop all the time, but ever since upgrading to desktop and getting an SSD, I shut down my computer every night because start up takes ~15-20 seconds to do. I was always under the impression that shutting down your computer regularly was a good habit to get into, but all my friends just leave theirs on 24/7. Does it matter if I shut down or not?

    The question mostly applies because I got a new ultrabook, and I sometimes close it and forget that I left it on. (I think it hibernates after a certain amount of time... not too sure.) Will this have any negative effects on my laptop?
