Ok, so there are a couple things I don't really get about Instant On. First of all, when you enable Instant On, how are you supposed to put the computer into IO's special sleep mode? Does it replace Windows' Sleep Mode in the Start menu, or do you just shut the lid? Secondly, I have read that if the battery drops below a certain point, IO backs up the current state of the machine to the hard drive so you don't lose your data. Does this utilize Windows' built-in hibernation?
I have disabled hibernation on my machine because space is a premium on my SSD (especially since I have a sizable Steam collection), so if I use Instant On with Windows hibernation disabled, will I lose everything if the battery dies? I've searched online, but all I've managed to find about IO sounds like marketing releases, and I've been unable to find technical explanations. Hey guys, here's an explanation from the 'Asus website'.I hope this will help you.ASUS Instant On powered by SHE II TechnologySuper Hybrid Engine II incorporates elements of its SHE predecessor and builds on the vitals of better battery performance. Instant on allows notebooks to resume in under 2 seconds.
and stay in standby for up to 15 days. Importantly, should battery levels fall below 5%, data is automatically saved and secured on the hard drive.Resuming from hibernation on a mainstream notebook can typically take 30-60s.Normal standby time before battery drains on mainstream notebooks is 3-5 days.Removing or draining the battery when a notebook is left in standby will lose the resume data and potentially a users work! No, that's the same marketing description I've found all over the web that does not answer the specific questions I asked above.
From what I understand, Instant On is not invoked during a normal cold boot, it is a low-power standby state which allows quick resume (which is not the same as quick boot, you aren't really booting). I understand the concept, I just had some specific questions about it, so if anybody can answer the questions I asked above, that would be great.yeah, you are right!it's for quick resume, and not for fast boot.the technology name is a little misleading IMHO!people may think, 'wow this PC must boot fast' well, sorry to inform you it won'tthey should call it 'instant Resume'.I guess it's just another 'gimmick' to sell more computers, like the failed 'Express Gate'. Instant on replaces Windows Sleep mode.
Do you have the Windows gadget running? It'll tell you the anticipated life with it on compared to standard Sleep.Sleep boots the system in 2-3 seconds, but doesn't backup your work, so in 2-3 days if your battery dies in sleep mode you lose unsaved data.Hibernate saves your Windows session and your work, even if your battery dies, but it takes just as long to boot as a cold boot.Instant on saves your Windows session and your work (like hibernate), but still boots the system in 2-3 seconds (like sleep). Plus it'll last anywhere up to 15+ days, depending on your battery capacity and its charge. Best of both worlds.you sleep or hibernate your system - use this instead! (You paid for it + it's better!) If you never use sleep and always shut down, you can remove it:). Instant on replaces Windows Sleep mode.

Best of both worlds.you sleep or hibernate your system - use this instead! Like I told you, Instant on is just a fancy name for Sleep (well, almost). But I guess I assumed too much since it looks like some people know very little about it (maybe they passed Vista completly, who knows) and most never got the Hybrid sleep active (that I call just Sleep since it's on the market for so long now, like 3rd OS long).is a small difference. When your system enters Hybrid sleep, it will also save data on the HDD. So it takes some time to 'shut down' based on how much data needs to be written and HDD speed.
Wake is very fast, Instant on fast.I never had a problem with it, but I use Instant on now.If I plan not to use the laptop for a long time, I shut it down or use hibernation if needed. While hybrid sleep is active in a profile, hibernation is not available (that is why I use Instant on, no more one click profile change to get hibernation).I have never seen the safe feature of Instant on working, so I can't tell you much about that. Great thread, I,ve often wondered what easy on does too. I turned off hibernation and gained 12 GB of data, will uninstalling easy on do the same??It shouldn't, unless IO creates its own hibernation file, which is one of the main things I'm still not clear on. The marketing-speak claims that if your battery runs out, it saves your data and shuts down to prevent losing your data (i.e.
Hibernates), but it is not clear if this is through Windows' built-in hibernation or if it has its own mechanism for hibernation. This is important to somebody who has disabled hibernation in order to free up a significant amount of space on my system SSD. With Windows hibernation disabled, can IO still save my data if the battery is depleted while in IO's uber sleep mode, or will it just die because I have disabled hibernation? Of course, this is a worst-case scenario, as I also would normally save and shut down manually if I were to know I was not going to use the computer for extended periods of time, but if I am uncertain about something important like whether or not I'm going to lose my data, it makes me hesitant to use the feature at all.
Can somebody please take their Asus laptop, have 'Instant On' disabled. Then tell windows to put it to sleep.
Then wake it up and time it. What's the time difference between going to sleep and waking up with instant on enabled and disabled?

My guess is very little if any difference.Since when has sleep mode taken a long time on any laptop? My old Pentium m HP laptop goes to sleep pretty quick (limited by hard drive IO/low RAM) and wakes up in about 5 seconds.Heck, my G50VT laptop resumes from sleep in 2 seconds with windows 8 with no magical instant on software and takes 6 seconds to get to sleep.EDIT So I have my new Asus u47a laptop and there is no difference in speed in waking up with instant on being enabled or disabled. It might take a few more seconds for it to sleep with instant on disabled but not sure.So that means that with it enabled, it definitely isn't 'hybrid sleep'ing to have the speed of waking from sleep but data retention of hibernate. With is disabled it obviously isn't 'hybrid sleep'ing either.The only real difference I saw was the estimated number of days of sleep time on battery power on the windows sidebar rose from 5 day to 8 to 9 days with it disabled/enabled. Who knows how it saves power.
