Discussion Macbook Air battery life saving

[yossibac]

I only use my laptop about twice per week, is closing the lid going to drain the battery a lot more than turning it off? as it takes quite a long time?

if you don't use it. why not turning it off?

I have never had a Mac. I was thinking, if it makes no different to the battery, closing the lid is a lot quicker to turn on the laptop. On a Windows PC, I'd usually turn it off.
