Learning the Basics
Powering down the computer

The Standby command puts the computer into a power-saving 
mode. Standby holds the current state of the computer in memory 
so that, when you restart the computer, you can continue working 
from where you left off. 

Factors when choosing Standby:

❖

While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery 
power. A fully charged battery will last approximately eight 
hours in Standby mode.

❖

Restarting from Standby mode uses less time and battery 
power than restarting from Shut down or Hibernation mode.

❖

When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode in 
which you left it, including all open programs and files you 
were using.
