I would guess at least most laptops come from the factory with the lid close set to pt the laptop to sleep but it might not be so. This would be true especially if you have or bought a docking station with the laptop, you wouldn't want it going to sleep when you closed it to dock it. All of our company laptops are setup this way.To check or change, go to control panel, power options (there are other ways to get there but this is the easiest to write. Select your power plan, or create a new one, and click change advanced power settings and look in the “power buttons and lid” section.You can also go there to allow hybrid sleep, under the sleep section. If hybrid sleep is enabled then the hibernate option on the shutdown button goes away since it is going to do the hibernate function every time you tell it to sleep. I suspect this will cause it to take longer to go to sleep. It is possible to change the power settings so that closing the lid does not put the laptop to sleep.

When I click the arrow next to shut-down, there is no choice for hibernate. I have an Acer machine with windows 7. Where would I find the hibernate button?

Where would I find it? When I hit shutdown all that comes up is Switch User, Logoff, Lock, Restart, Sleep and Hibernate, no Hybrid Sleep. Thanks I have Windows 7 but I can’t find this Hybrid Sleep.

If power is lost, the computer boots as though it had been hibernated. Windows 7 employs a Hybrid Sleep which saves the session data to both RAM and the hard disk in case of power failure.
