Many of us are too eco-conscious to even consider it – but if you leave your PC on all day, it can last far longer.
This is according experts from Geek Squad, and they reveal the idea is based on modern research on today's computers.Turning PCs off and on wears out the components, Geek Squad experts say.
‘If you use your computer multiple times per day, it’s best to leave it on,’ Geek Squad agent Steven Leslie told Digital Trends.Older computers are more at risk due to fragile mechanical components such as hard disks – but even new computers can be damaged by heating up as they turn on and off
‘Every time a computer powers on, it has a small surge of power as everything spins up, and if you are turning it on multiple times a day, it can shorten the computer’s lifespan.’
For people who use their PCs heavily, the best money-saving option is to leave the PC in Sleep mode most of the time, rather than switching on and off repeatedly.
It is advised that users who only turn on a PC once per day should turn it on and off, to save on electricity: but users who turn on more than once might be best leaving their machines on.
