D
Power-Saving States
You can use power-saving states to stop the computer’s operation and restart where you left off. Sleep is the
default power-saving state in Windows 7.
Earlier versions of Windows used Stand By and Hibernate as system power-saving states. Windows 7 combines
the features of Stand By and Hibernate into the default Sleep power-saving state.
Sleep
In Sleep all of your work, settings and preferences are saved to memory before the system sleeps. When you are
not using your computer for a certain length of time, which you specify in the operating system, it will enter
Sleep to save power.
The PC wakes from Sleep within seconds and will return you to where you last left off (what was on your desk-
top) without reopening the application(s) and file(s) you last used.
If your mobile PC in Sleep is running on battery power the system will use only a minimum amount of power.
After an extended period the system will save all the information to the hard disk and shut the computer down
before the battery becomes depleted.
