    I think the biggest reason that’s fallen out of favor is that normal sleep now works pretty well on most systems. It adds wear to your SSD to do that.

      What do you mean by normal sleep and pretty well? My XPS isn’t that old and it drinks from battery while sleeping quite fast, 12h and 50% goes down.

      My older Dell laptop only drains 1-2% per hour on normal sleep which is also not acceptable, I can’t leave it like that over the weekend.

        I’ve always had bad experiences with Dell hardware. The battery life of there devices doesn’t seem to last more than a few hours and the batteries where out.

        I have a System76 laptop and I can close the lid for a full day and not have issues. The only thing powered is the ram so it lasts a long time.
