Learning the Basics
Powering down the computer
Because the state of the system is held on the hard disk, no
data is lost if the battery discharges.
Restarting from Hibernation uses less time and battery power
than restarting from Shut down.
Restarting from Hibernation 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 and opens the programs and files you were
using.

Standby command

The Standby command puts the computer into a power-saving
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 to consider when choosing Standby:
While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery
power. A fully charged battery will last approximately eight
hours in Standby mode.
Restarting from Standby mode uses less time and battery
power than restarting from Shut down or Hibernation.
