Description 
Standby 
Puts the system into Standby mode, a power management state that saves the state of the system and peripheral devices
in memory (RAM). Power consumption reduces to a minimum, and the system remains on. To return the system to the active
state, press any key or the power button on your computer. Your notebook is preset to enter Standby mode after 25
minutes. 
Hibernate 
Provides for the lowest level of power consumption. The system writes the state of the system and peripheral devices to
the hard disk and turns off the system power. To return the system to the original state, use the power button to turn on
power. The system saves the data in the Save to Disk Partition on the hard drive.
