Fn+Esc: Suspend Windows

Posted in laptop by estephen on May 16th, 2007

Don’t try it now! But for many laptops (not all), Fn+Esc allows you to Suspend your computer, switching it to a mode where the hard drive and screen are disabled in order to save battery power.

(Usually closing the screen accomplishes the same task, but sometimes you want to leave the screen open.)

    For most computers, try tapping the power button. You can also try Ctrl+Alt+Del, clicking the mouse, Esc, and so forth.
