Recommended? I'd say a complete shutdown. However, are you likely to experience any problems with moving the computer while in sleep mode? I say no. Not likely at all. Notebooks are built to withstand some relatively major jolts without causing damage.

I agree with you.

I owned i8500 for almost 4 years until I got a new E1505 two weeks ago.

I'd been carrying it that particular way about a year.

I did not encounter any problem with that system except video card crashed couple of months ago so.
