Well its hard to asess because ethier or, could work. Personally i leave my computer in standby mode most of the time. But there are some times that you will need to shut down and it is a healthly choice to shut down the computer every now and then like maybe every second day? Now another thing is, if you are an IT student that needs to run from class to class evry hour i'd suggest just leaving it in standby mode because it takes way too long to boot up after you shut down.

Extend the Life of Your Laptop Battery?

Many laptop owners are not aware that hibernate and standby mode are not the same. Instead of using the standby feature, more battery is saved when hibernate is selected. Hibernate shuts down the computer, but it also saves the current state of the computer. Battery life is extended, while all your work is put in limbo.

How do you use sleep mode?

When you tap the sleep key, the computer goes into a low power standby mode. Tapping the wake key brings the computer back up to a ready state. It is used instead of shutting down the computer because it is a faster way to get the computer up and running. Also, if you have a program running, there is no need to shut that off as it will be ready for you, where you left off when the computer wakes up. It is very similar to the 'hibernate' feature of many computers. Both sleep and hibernate are low power standby modes. I never use sleep mode because I see no advantage to being able to start up my PC that much faster than if I had just shut it down.

Where and when are hibernate and stand by used?

When you set your system into Hibernate Mode you're programs will load up quicker than when you do a normal shutdown. Hibernate mode writes an image of what you're currently working on to a special file on your hard drive, and then shuts your computer almost completely off. It takes a bit longer than Standby, since it needs to write to your hard drive. Hibernate also takes a bit longer to resume, since you must go through essentially the normal boot process, although in Windows XP your computer wakes faster from Hibernate than in previous versions of Windows. The advantage is that you can leave your laptop in Hibernate mode for days without any ill effect. When you start it back up, you'll see everything exactly as you left it. Hibernate is the perfect mode for shutting down for the night or even the weekend.
