To manage power manually

In addition to allowing the computer to enter its power-saving modes automatically, you
can also put it into any of the following three modes whenever you need to.
Power mode Does this...
Standby Maintains your current
session in RAM, and turns off
the display and other
components.
Hibernate Saves the current session to
disk, and then shuts down.
Provides maximum power
savings while still allowing
you to recover the current
session.
Off Turns off your computer,
providing maximum power
savings. The current session
will not be saved, and any
unsaved data will be lost.
You can also turn off the display by closing the lid.
