Hibernate mode (select models only) puts the computer into a deeper sleep, with more energy savings.
In Hibernate mode, all peripheral power shuts down and all data is saved to your hard drive. Upon
awakening, the data is restored to where you were in the last session. This process takes a little longer than
awakening from Sleep mode (but less time than if you had shut down), and is considered a safer state
for data.
You can put the computer into Sleep mode several ways. Press the Power/Sleep button on the top right of
the computer, press the Sleep button on remote control, or press the Sleep button on the upper left of your
keyboard.
