The operational states of most computers fall into the following
categories:
On = full power drain, normal operation.
Sleep = machine under power, but components running on reduced power,
state still retained in memory, fast wake up. 
Hibernate = machines almost if not completely powered down, memory and
state suspended to hard disk, moderately quick wake up.
Shut down = no power draw, no hibernation file suspended to disk, will
require normal full boot maximum time penalty.

More modern PCs (in about the last two years) are far better at coming
in and out of reduced power statess although where you do get problems
it is due to a bad driver, and sometimes an update will resolve these
kinds of problems.

Hi there, using an HP6715 Laptop, when I want to leave the computer and
turn
off there is the choice of Using hibernate, sleep or shut down.  Which
is
the best one to use.  I presume at night or when going out shut down is
best, can anyone explain the differences?
