    Or maybe we could just maintain good old traditional sleep? Not like you want your laptop to be a phone with push notifications and alike

      Don’t you? Instant wake is hella useful, especially if you are using a laptop as a laptop and moving between meeting rooms etc, constantly bumping between sleep and wake.

        S1 sleep was as fast to resume as S0 standby.

        Instead I get 30+ seconds to wake from sleep, 1% battery drain per minute, and the random chance that it just overheats in my bag and crashes. At least on my Surface Pro and Intel U series laptops it’s tolerable, but I’d much rather S1 standby for 30 minutes, S3 standby for 4 hours, before finally hibernating. Instead I currently get buggy S0 for 15 minutes, and hopefully it makes it to complete hibernation after that.

          Yeah windows standby sucks. On platforms where the equivalent of s0 doesn’t suck, it’s awesome.

            Bingo. MacBook’s are always ready to wake with little battery loss. Windows just … can’t do that ever. If phones can be expected to behave this way, computers have zero excuses they can’t.

          Man, this is why my work laptop does that. It is an all around POS so I chalked this problem up to that. I didn’t know that MS deliberately broke sleep. With this knowledge I’ve learned how to go back to regular sleep.

      Exactly, with modern CPUs and ssd there shouldn’t be the need to have PCs that sleep with an eye open.
