Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation:

❖

While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery
power.

❖

Because the mode of the system is held on the hard disk,
no data is lost if the main battery discharges.

❖

When starting up again, Hibernation uses less time and
battery power than does Turn off computer.

❖

Restarting from Hibernation uses a little more time and
battery power to start up than restarting from Standby,
because information is being retrieved from the hard disk
rather than from memory.

❖

When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode
in which you left it, including all open programs and files
you were using.
