Standby command
The Standby command puts the computer into a power-saving
state. Standby stores 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 to consider 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.
When starting up again, this choice uses less time and battery
power than does Shut down or Hibernation.
On restarting, the computer returns to the state in which you
left it, and opens all the programs and files you were using.
NOTE: Be sure to save your work first. If you power down
using the Standby command and the battery discharges
fully, your information will be lost.
