For computers that support an always-on, always-connected use prole where internet access is available 
(such as tablets and slates), alternative low power modes - such as Short or Long Idle modes (as dened in 
the ENERGY STAR Computer Program Requirements) are provided that consume very little power (</= 10 
Watts) and when applicable, maximize product battery life. These alternative low power modes are dynamic, 
with the display sleep mode activated within 1 minute of user inactivity.
The computer exits Sleep when the power/Sleep button is pressed. When the Wake On LAN (WOL) feature is 
enabled, the computer can also exit Sleep in response to a network signal.
