    I leave my laptop on, when I am away from the computer at home. When I am runnung from class to class, standby mode. Hibernation is useless to me.

    I keep it on while at work. But dim the screen, and make sure HD spindown is like set to 5-10mins.
    I would use the auto dim and standby but I noticed coming out of standby the autodim goes wacko

    Yes but it will re-enable once you gotten out of Standby.
