Learning the Basics
Using Turn Off or Shut down
Factors to consider when choosing Standby:
While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery
power. If your computer is left in Standby mode for an
extended period, your computer could lose data.
When starting up again, this choice uses less time and
battery power than either Turn Off, Shut down or
Hibernation.
On restarting, the computer returns to the state in which
you left it, and opens all the programs and files you were
using.
NOTE: If you power down using the Standby command and the
battery discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to
save your work often.
