Extending battery life

Hibernate - (also called save to disk) writes all current memory (RAM)
information to the hard drive, then turns your convertible tablet PC
completely off. The next time you turn on your convertible tablet
PC, it reads the memory information from the hard drive and opens
the programs and documents that were open when you activated
Hibernate mode.

Using power saving modes

Always save your work before using Standby mode. In Standby mode,
your convertible tablet PC reduces or turns off the power to most devices
except memory. However, the information in memory is not saved to the
hard drive. If power is interrupted, the information is lost.

When in Hibernate mode, your convertible tablet PC saves all memory
information to the hard drive, then turns the power completely off.
