On suspend, the memory is backed up by battery, and the machine "sort of" powers down, only resumeable by the Fn key. On the 355 or 360, it should beep every time you suspend or resume from suspend or hibernation. With hibernation, the machine saves the RAM and Video RAM to a file on the HD, and powers off. When you power on again, the machine resumes to where you left off. From what I mentioned (in that order, that is), you resume the quickest, but conserve the least power. And again, that's in order of those mentioned. Hopefully this will give you a better understanding of the differences. Paul
