Hi, That'd be the whole point of it. If you're in a hurry, and if you want to decide whether or not it is worth taking along the charger for your Mac, it's just a lot easier not to waste power actually booting up, checking battery, then either putting it to sleep or shutting it down. You could definitely save a minute.
