    What is the difference between hibernation and standby? :? I was just reading about setting the options for closing the lid of AA1. I'm not sure which one of these options I should use. Thanks in advance for your help.

    hibernation takes contents of ram and puts it onto HDD. Does not use up battery power when off
    Standby shuts off most periperhals but ram always has power. Uses battery power as not all devices are actually off.
