Best way to use a computer is what ? turning it off at night or keeping it
"on" all the time?
Thanks

No published statistical evidence either way as to which is really better.
There are pros and cons for both. Just do what you want.

Dont matter. Just shut your monitor off to make it last longer.

Off, if you are not using it for anything turn it off.

If every computer and monitor in the United States were turned off at
night, the nation could shut down 8 large power stations and avoid
emitting 7 million tons of CO2 per year.

I'm not sure how acurate the above figures are and it doesn't really
matter, the point is the same.
Here are another couple of interesting links-
