Re: What is the difference...
In ah nut-shell:
Sleep mode - partially powers down your laptop, but keeps everything you are doing in memory. The hard drive is turned off, along with everything else except memory. Memory is still kept alive to retain your information. Power is still being drawn at a much reduced amount from your battery, for a quick startup when you next move the mouse, or press a key. Depending on your laptop and setting, you could stay in sleep-mode for days. Still monitors your working environment.
Hibernate - Saves an image of what you are doing to your hard drive and then TOTALLY shuts down the computer (nothing is in memory). No power is being drawn from the battery anymore. When you next press the power switch, your desktop is restored to the same state it was when it went put into hibernate. Hibernate takes much longer to power-up than sleep-mode does. When it comes up it ASSUMES everything about your working enviroment stayed the same.

Re: What is the difference...
And if you use a docking station, it will keep you and the laptop sane if you do a proper shutdown before you insert or remove the unit into the docking station, instead of when you wakeup the laptop.Comment
