Sleep

Stand by saves the least amount of power, but takes the shortest time to return to full
operation. During Stand by the hard disk is turned off, and the CPU is made to idle
at its slowest speed. All open applications are retained in memory. When you are not
using your computer for a certain length of time, which you specify in the operating
system, it will enter Stand by mode to save power.

Hibernate

Hibernate uses no power and saves all of your information on a part of the hard disk
before it turns the system off. Although it saves the most power it takes the longest
time to return to full operation. You can set your computer to automatically enter Hi-
bernate
when the battery power is almost depleted. You will need to enable Hiber-
nate
mode from the Advanced Settings in power plans, or you put the system
directly into Hibernate mode from the Lock Button Menu. The system will re-
sume from Hibernate mode by pressing the power button
.
