Because the battery doesn't work in my Laptop and I have to run it from the AC, whenever I want to move it I have to shut it down, then wait for it to boot back up again once I have moved it but I have noticed that if I put it into Hibernation mode, if I unplug it and plug it back in it just comes out of Hibernation mode cutting a lot of time off.

What I would like to know:

Is this going to hurt the system in any way by leaving it in Hibernation mode while not plugged in?

No, as the data "in progress" is written to the hard disk and saved. This is non-volatile storage of the data.

See;

It's a good day when you learn something
