Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation:
❖While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery
power.
❖Because the mode of the system is held on the hard disk,
no data is lost if the main battery discharges.
❖When starting up again, Hibernation uses less time and
battery power than does Turn off computer.
❖Restarting from Hibernation uses a little more time and
battery power to start up than restarting from Standby,
because information is being retrieved from the hard disk
rather than from memory.
❖When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode
in which you left it, including all open programs and files
you were using.
