    Not sure on the cleaning.

    To clean the screen I would suggest a clean damp lint free soft cloth/paper. It takes some time to get a clear screen witout any swipe marks but this avoids using any chemicals which might harm the screen.

    Yes, you can transport the laptop in standy by mode. There shouldnt be any problems with it.

    I use a micro-fiber cloth for routine screen cleaning; it works great on all but the most difficult dirt.
