I was just wondering what power schemes you guys used for your notebooks. Especially if it is your main computer and is always on.

I used to leave mine in the Always On state with password resume and i had some issues with my hd not responding on resume or just stopping period. It finally fried out and i had to get a new one put in and i just got it back this weekend.

So i was wondering what you guys used and/or what is best to keep everything running smoothly

-Always on if plugged in.
-5 min monitor, always leave hd running, 15 min hibernate if unplugged.
-Close lid does nothing, power/sleep buttons hibernate.

Never had any problems or HD slughishness with this.

if plugged in: always on (monitor turn off after 5min)
if runnin on battery: minimal power management (turn off monitor after 5min, system standby after 10min)

closing lid does nothing under any power scheme. use the same power settings with this laptop like i did with my old one and never have/had any problems.

my powerbook goes into sleep when i close the lid; but i don't have the annoying issue i had with my windows laptop where going out of sleep mode took a while.
