Difference of stand-by and hibernate state
Stand-by:
Put the notebook on stand-by when it is idle. While on standby, the notebook switches to a low-power
state where devices, such as the monitor and hard disks turned off and the notebook uses less power.
When you want to use the notebook again, it comes out of stand-by quickly, and your desktop is
restored exactly as you left it. Stand-by is particularly useful for conserving battery power in portable
computers.
Because Stand-by does not save your desktop state to disk, a power failure while on Stand-by can
cause you to lose unsaved information.
Hibernate
Put the notebook in hibernation. The hibernate feature saves everything in memory on disk, turns off
your monitor and hard disk, and then turns off the notebook. When you restart the notebook, your
desktop is restored exactly as you left it. It takeslonger to bring your notebook out of hibernation than
out of stand-by.
