I've recently got a new computer and its awesome and I want to treat it as well as I can. I've never had this type of affection for a computer so I never cared about running them into the ground.
Which begs my question, is it better to shut-down daily or leave it on? I really dont care about power savings and at night when I leave it on its simply idle. I'm just wondering which causes more wear and tear the extra 10-12 hours of idle time each night or whatever stress rebooting puts on the machine. If its relevant my machine is an HP Zbook with a SSD where all programs are installed and the HDD just stores files, so the only thing moving at night should be the fan at times.
