Powering down the computer
When you power down the computer, you have three options
to choose from: Turn Off, Hibernation, and Stand By. Each
option has its advantages.

Turn Off command

The Turn Off command shuts the computer down completely.
When you start up again, the computer runs a self-test and
loads the operating system. You must open any programs and
files you want to use.
Factors to consider when choosing Turn Off:
❖No power is used while the computer is turned off. This
is the most efficient mode if you will be away from your
computer for an extended time.
❖Restarting from Turn Off uses the most time and battery
power.
❖When starting up again, the system does not
automatically open programs and files you were
previously using.

Hibernation command

Hibernation mode shuts the computer down completely, but it
first saves the current state of the computer to the hard disk.
Since Hibernation mode does not require power to maintain
the saved information, the system settings are retained
