While more often than not I leave my iMac on at night, I always turn off my Powerbook. I guess it just seems more vulnerable left on all night, for some reason. In fact, until recently, I'd carefully pack it and all of its "stuff" back in the softside briefcase I bought for it. Now I often leave it, turned off and with lid closed, where I used it last (on the couch, on the footstool, on the bed, by the iMac, on the dining table...). Do you guys turn off your PBs at night?
Mine is either plugged in and sleeping, or sitting on the couch or in the bag sleeping. I usually leave it running all weekend on the laptop stand in my office as I'm on it quite a bit, or I have processes that I run overnight (iDVD encode/record and the like) My PB only gets shut off if I take an airplane trip, or if I have to reboot for a security update from Apple. It hasn't caused any issues over the last 1.5 years.
