> Power it off if it's really need to go to sleep for a few days. That's really rare need in today's world, though.

Is it? Once again you're assuming everyone is the same as you.

It is NORMAL for me (living in a first world country) to have no access to mains power for several days at a time. Yes it's my choice. But if I can't recharge my laptop for a week, I want to save as much battery as I can, and that includes not having it wasting power sleeping.

(And while one person can't make much difference, why should I want to waste power? If EVERYBODY saved just a few watts here and there - and had the "let's save it" mindset), we might make a dent in global warming :-)

Cheers,
Wol
