❖

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.

For more information about the Hibernation command, see 

. For information about 

going into Hibernation mode more quickly, see 

Standby 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 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.

If you power down using Standby and the battery discharges 
fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to save your work 
first.
