You are working as an IT support technician in an organization. Your work requires you to carry a laptop to employee cubicles to analyze and fix issues. You want to use a laptop setting that will not drain the battery too much while your applications aren’t running. Which of the following should you do?
  1. Configure the laptop to go into standby mode.
  2. Log off the laptop when you are not using it actively.
  3. Use the Power Options in Control Panel to select the Max Battery power scheme.
  4. Enable Hibernation and create a power scheme that causes the laptop computer to hibernate whenever the computer is not used for a suitable period of time.
Explanation
Answer - D - To be able to use the laptop without draining the battery too much, enable Hibernation and create a power scheme that causes the laptop computer to hibernate whenever the computer is not used for a suitable period of time.

Key Takeaway: There is a little bit of a tussle between using the standby mode and the hibernation mode. Standby mode places a very slight drain on the battery, whereas hibernation uses no battery life at all. Hibernate is a feature where the contents of RAM are written to non-volatile storage such as a hard disk, a file, or on a separate partition before powering off the computer. When the computer is restarted, it reloads the content of memory and the computer is restored to the state it was in when hibernation was invoked.
