  1. I was wondering whether it is better to put a laptop into sleep or hibernation in Windows 7, and suspend or hibernate in Ubuntu:

    • when carrying the laptop in a backpack and walking or slow-running to another place in around 15
      minutes,
    • Or just when the lid is closed.

    My concerns are if the heat generated and accumulated and bumping from transmit will do harm to the laptop, and I can miss other important factors.

  2. Is sleep in Windows 7 same as suspend in Ubuntu?

Thanks and regards!
