Battery power is also a factor that comes into play here. These devices are "always on" for days at a time. Powering down isn't really the issue so much as leaving your perception. You can forget about them ("turn them off") and when you start using them a day or two later they come on in an instant. When it comes to a laptop you can't necessarily leave it and come back, you have to be cognizant of how long it's been standing by or hibernating or whatnot.
