Hibernation mode shuts the computer down completely, but it first 
saves the current state of the computer to the hard disk. Since 
Hibernation mode does not require power to maintain the saved 
information, system settings are retained indefinitely. 

Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation:

❖

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

❖

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

❖

Restarting from Hibernation takes less time and consumes less 
battery power than restarting from turning off the computer.

❖

Since information is being retrieved from the hard disk rather 
than from memory, restarting from Hibernation takes a little 
more time and consumes more battery power to start up than 
when restarting from Standby.

❖

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 information on how to use and configure Hibernation mode see

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

Factors to consider when choosing Standby:

❖

While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery 
power.

❖

The Standby command does not store unsaved information on 
your hard disk. You should save your work before putting your 
computer on Standby.

❖

Restarting from Standby takes less time and consumes less 
battery power than restarting from turning off the computer or 
using 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.
