Sleep- Default sleeping behaviour when you close the lid of your laptop. RAM is still on. Wakes up quickly

Deep sleep - Its like hibernation. System is totally shut down while sleeping. RAM contents are dumped to disk. Wake up is slow.

The attachment tells things in more detail.

Sleep, Deep sleep, Safe sleep... So many options! Is there a Permanent Sleep option from which your mac does not wake up at all?

Yup. Wipe off Mac and load Windows. No chance of Mac waking up at all.

When the screen backlight is off, but the computer is not in actual sleep mode, this is when the Mac naps.

I though we agreed prior in this thread there will not be any senseless windows/mac bashing?

Its the way of life now a days on tbhp. People forget the sure aim of a particular thread. If you know what i mean.

srijit · 21st August 2009, 20:37

lol, quickdraw, dont get so defensive. Read the post that I quoted.
And I did not agree to anything.

oooh yay finally a mac thread!

. I have a older generation (Santa Rosa) 15.4" Macbook pro and i love it to death

Akki_5 · 30th August 2009, 20:19

well, my earlier post got deleted because unaware of certain rules, i put a link to a torrent file for Snow Leopard download
now i have not included the link in this post
i dont think it should be very difficult for anyone to find Snow Leopard torrent
anyways, update: Snow Leopard is officially available in States for $29
will be available in India after two weeks for Rs. 1800/-
cheers

Yeah man happens, I am actually thinking of upgrading to a mbp or a macpro have put the macbook out for sale. I had a chance to fiddle around with the new mbp its really nice but doesn't draw myself to it like the macbook black did. Will be installing snow leopard tommorow and hopefully be submitting my first impressions over 10.6

UPDATE : Installed Snow Leopard and I'm loving it! Gained about 20ish GB of space after install. All the applications except InsomniaX and Nambu seem to work fine. Photoshop (which is a PowerPC) app seems to be working fine under software virtualization (I forgot what its called). It working out to be great and I definitely everyone here to upgrade. You can check out the features on the apple website.

Did you see a noticeable speed increase? This was one of the things promised by Apple.
