Windows has something for laptops called "hibernate" which is basically this: everything that you are working on is saved to a hibernation file, then the computer goes to sleep. When you restart, everything appears just as you left it, all the windows are still there, etc.
Now the real feature here is this: while in Hibernate mode, the computer is completely turned off. I could unplug it and the battery would not drain one little bit. I can put the laptop in my bag while in hibernate, leave it there for a few days or a week or month or year and open it back up and have it appear just as I left it.
Now I see that OSX has a sleep mode, but this does not seem to shut the computer down completely, and I am wondering if it is safe to leave it in that mode when going from home to work or whether I should shut it down completely and just restart when I get home.
Thanks!
