The difference between hibernation and sleep in a notebook

Hibernation is still not shut-off, while sleep is already shut-off.

1. Laptop hibernation state: the main service object is the portable computer, the function is to make the computer in the power saving state, for example: the computer opens the documents and programs to save to the hard disk, and then turn off the computer.

2. Laptop sleep mode: It is also an energy-saving mode, but the difference is that the documents and programs opened by the computer are in standby state at any time, when you start the computer again, the computer can quickly enter the working state, and a small amount of electricity will be consumed when it is on standby.

Does the laptop turn off or sleep or hibernate when not in use?

1. Shutdown, when the laptop is not in use, it is generally best to shut down the laptop, because it saves power and protects the battery.

2. However, it is inconvenient for people who do not use the computer for a short time, because it is a waste of time to turn on and turn off the computer.

3. Sleep state, sleep state, it is very convenient for people who do not use the computer for a short time, and only need to wake up the computer when they need to use it.

4. This has an impact on some hardware and batteries of the laptop, the sleep state is in, and the computer is still running.

5. Hibernate state, when the laptop is in hibernation, the computer is not running, it is in a resting state, as long as it wakes up, it will also consume battery power, so it is better to shut down.

The difference between sleep and hibernation in a laptop is that sleep is no different from shutting down, except that some information is permanently in memory. Hibernation is the temporary shutdown of the display to allow the operating system to standby.

When sleeping, the power is still in the memory and all data is maintained. At this point, the power consumption is very low, and recovery can be carried out quickly.

When sleeping, the data is also saved, but it has been saved to the hard disk, and the power can be cut off, which is equivalent to shutting down, but when it is restored, it can be restored to the working state before sleep.

""Sleep" is an energy-saving state that allows your computer to quickly resume working at full power (usually within seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your computer to sleep is like pausing *** Announcer: it immediately stops the current operation and is ready to restart when you want to continue working.

"Hibernation" is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops. Sleep usually saves work and settings in memory and consumes a small amount of power, while sleep saves open documents and programs to the hard drive and then shuts down the computer. Of all the energy-saving states used by Windows, hibernation uses the least amount of power.

In the case of laptops, if you know that you will not use it for a long time and it is not possible to charge the battery during that time, you should use the sleep mode.

1. The file storage status is different: when the computer is in sleep and then recovered, the system will read the file content into the memory, and the file content will not be lost, and if the power is suddenly cut off in sleep mode, the unsaved information will be lost. So save the document before using sleep mode.

2. Different release states: if it is in sleep mode, the desktop can usually be woken up by shaking the mouse or keyboard; If it is in hibernation, you will need to tap the power button once to enable the computer.

3. Different usage: If you leave the computer for a short time, you should use the sleep function, which can not only save power but also quickly restore the working state. If you are away from the computer for a long time, it is better to choose sleep mode to save power.
