Is Hybrid Sleep on Windows 7 the same as on Windows Vista?
As I understand it so far, it is like sleep, except the content of the RAM is also saved onto the hard drive, so when there is power loss or power outage, the state of the computer is not lost.
Will that involve saving all the RAM to the hard drive? So if my computer has 6 GB or 9 GB or even 12 GB, will that involve saving 12 GB of data to hard drive?
@kristianp, Provided the battery isn't old and the laptop controller isn't old and the battery hub isn't old and no one accidentally nudge the laptop, knocking the battery off its position. – Pacerier – 2014-12-31T17:55:01.280
Note that it probably isn't needed on a laptop, because the battery will protect you from power failures, as long as it is set to hybernate after a time so that the battery isn't exhausted. – None – 2012-10-05T23:30:51.347
