You should always use hibernation on a laptop, for performance reasons :-) | ||

+ | ===== Dealing with the slow Safely Remove Hardware for USB devices ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This maybe linked to the use of network printers, or to some devices that take time to be listed. The delay problem can be reproduced by opening //Start => Devices and Printers// : once devices and printers are displayed, there is no more delay in ejecting the USB devices! | ||
