Second this. Not to mention INSTANT resume from hibernation! It’s fucking crazy. I can use this thing ALL DAY doing webGL CAD work and Orca Slicer and barely scratch 50%.
With a modern system, I honestly don’t think there’s a noticeable difference between suspend to ram and suspend to disk. They’ve gotten the boot times down so much that it’s lightning-fast. My work laptop’s default is suspend to disk, and I don’t notice a difference except when it prompts for the bitlocker password.
S0 standby is borderline unusable on many PCs. On Apple silicon macs it’s damn near flawless.
My current laptop is probably the last machine to support S3 standby and I do not look forward to replacing it and being forced back into a laptop that overheats and crashes in my backpack in less than 15 minutes. On my basic T14 it works ok for the most part, but my full fat Thinkpad P1 with an i9 is in S0 standby for longer than a few minutes, and sometimes uses more power than when it was fully on. Maybe Meteor lake with it’s LP E cores will fix this but I doubt it.

tbh it has been nearly flawless on win11 for me with an amd cpu
(just make sure to disable automatic windows/defender updates unless you want to get woken up by jet turbine sounds in the middle of the night)
