When you power down the computer, you have a number of 
options to choose from:

❖

Turn Off or Shut down, which power off the computer

❖

Hibernation, which saves the current operating state to 
the hard disk and powers off the computer

❖

Standby, which saves the current operating state to 
memory and enters a low power mode

❖

Restart, which restarts the computer

Each option has its advantages.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using any of these options to power 
down your computer, save your files and make sure the disk 
activity lights are off.

If you change your mind and decide to continue working after 
all, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again.

The Turn Off or Shut down commands power off the 
computer. The Windows

® 

XP Tablet PC Edition operating 

system uses Turn Off if you are not connected to a Windows

® 

network server (domain server). It uses Shut down if you are 
connected to a Windows

®

 network server (domain server).

 Factors to consider when choosing Turn Off or Shut down:

❖

No power is used while the computer is turned off. This 
is the most efficient mode if you will be away from your 
computer for an extended time.

❖

Restarting from Turn Off or Shut down uses the most 
time and battery power.
