Deep Sleep - Put new laptops into hibernation mode
if i am not wrong, everytime you close the lid of macbook, it enter safe sleep mode. so if you need to swap battery, just close the lid, wait until the sleep light started to pulse, and you are safe to take out the battery, without any help from 3rd party software.

Yes, true. Bad example I blame on 2am writing time :). Hence, mostly useful for just those times you want it in hibernate mode without yanking the battery.

With the machine in sleep mode, and the battery removed, what's keeping the machine from being powerless?

A small back-up battery, maybe in the form of a condensator.
Wallstreet & Pismo
The Wallstreet, and if i recall correctly the Pismo too, have dual battery bays (the CD drive bay is also a battery bay). Even so, it is true that the PRAM battery can power main RAM for short periods of time, if all main batteries are removed.
No, that's wrong
No, when you close the MacBook lid it goes into normal sleep. The MacBook manual says to shut down before swapping batteries.
No, it does work
This isn't true. I just did it myself to prove it. Steps taken, with a never-tweaked MacBook:
-rob.

I agree--the "safe sleep" is present by default, and noticeable on my MacBook. If you put it to sleep there is a 30-60 second delay between when the screen turns off and when the HD spins down--during this you will notice the sleep LED comes on solid white but doesn't blink. I presume this is when the RAM gets written to disk.

Hmm. Ordinarily I skip steps 5-7, and I never have a progress bar when I open the lid. This and the info in the MacBook manual were my sources for my comment. |
