80 Learning the Basics Powering down the computer ❖ 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. Standby command The Standby command puts the computer into a powersaving 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.
