topic VGN-P11Z cannot restart?! in PCs & Accessories https://community.sony.fr/t5/pcs-accessories/vgn-p11z-cannot-restart/m-p/32785#M53789 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The whole point of the Vaio P is portability. So I think it should be able to do something helpful when you close the lid. The basic options are Sleep or Hibernate.<BR /><BR />If I use Sleep, it frequently is incapable of waking up again, even with plenty of battery life (or even with mains power)<BR /><BR />If I use Hibernate, it will recover but then takes about ten minutes to become useable. Applications that were open when I closed the lid are frozen for a long time.<BR /><BR />So both these options are WORSE than simply shutting it down. A full start up to become useful takes about four minutes.<BR /><BR />This alone is a "deal breaker" for a truly portable computer. It fits into my jacket pocket, and yet if I need to use it, it's a dead weight.<BR /><BR />Please do whatever you can to make it possible to close the lid, go into some kind of low-power mode, and to recover QUICKLY and RELIABLY to a usable state when the lid is opened again.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 06 May 2009 09:12:19 GMT danielearwicker 2009-05-06T09:12:19Z VGN-P11Z cannot restart?! https://community.sony.fr/t5/pcs-accessories/vgn-p11z-cannot-restart/m-p/32785#M53789 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The whole point of the Vaio P is portability.
