[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1933938, member: 396914"] Not fully. I let the display sleep (go dark), but I keep the CPU ticking over. That keeps the drives alive and connected. When I want to use the machine, I tap the space bar, or any key, and the screen wakes up. The external monitor takes a bit longer than the internal screen on the MBP, so my screen is a jumble of windows for a second or so, then the external monitor is completely awake and the windows assigned there move there and all is well. What I think is happening is that when I tap the key, the CPU goes into full operations, wakes the GPU that turns on the internal display and connects again to the external monitor, that then has to go through its own wake up process and then the GPU sorts out where everything goes. As I said, it's a second or two before all is as I want. When I travel and have no external monitor, the MBP display is ready almost immediately after tapping a key. But the CPU is on, all the time.
