Dollar-wise, perhaps. Usage-wise, not even close. I never have to wait for boot-up so when I want information, it's right there waiting for me instantly. To me, that is far more important than the few extra pennies it might cost keeping it on. (Though I do re-boot at non-critical times.) I want a computer to be a handy-to-use tool, rather than a pain in the butt.
Having no down time for repairs is another mark on the plus side. The avoidance of usual computer frustration is worth any price to me! I no longer have to call it 'damn computer!'
