❖

While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery 
power.

❖

Because the state of the system is held on the hard disk, 
no data is lost if the battery discharges.

❖

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

❖

Restarting from Hibernation mode uses a little more time 
and battery power than restarting from Standby because 
information is being retrieved from the hard disk instead 
of memory.

❖

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

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. The battery will eventually discharge in Standby 
mode. If the battery discharges, your data will be lost if 
you do not save your work before entering Standby 
mode.

❖

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