Difference between the created and mounted events in Vue.js

Vue.js documentation describes the created and mounted events as follows:

created

Called synchronously after the instance is created. At this
stage, the instance has finished processing the options which means
the following have been set up: data observation, computed properties,
methods, watch/event callbacks. However, the mounting phase has not
been started, and the $el property will not be available yet.

mounted

Called after the instance has just been mounted where el is replaced
by the newly created vm.$el. If the root instance is mounted to an
in-document element, vm.$el will also be in-document when mounted is
called.

This hook is not called during server-side rendering.

I understand the theory, but I have 2 questions regarding practice:

1. Is there any case where created would be used over mounted?
2. What can I use the created event for, in real-life (real-code)
   situation?
