To be fair though even without S3 sleep it is easy to drop Linux power consumption on the X1C6 to ~2.5-3W with display off and no Linux user worth their salt is afraid of installing a BIOS update which literally adds a 'Linux' mode for sleep after which it's flawless.
The BIOS update even installs without needing Windows now a days - LVFS even.
- jes5199 8y agough I need to install that update. My X1 doesn’t even sleep right in Windows
- blinkingled 8y agoWell there is no sleep in Windows - it's connected standby - which puts everything in low power mode but running. I ran W10 on it few months but don't recall having issues with conn stdby. Yeah definitely update to the latest BIOS though - 1803 issues maybe sorted by the update.
- nickflood 8y agoYou can normally enable classic sleep in Windows by setting the CsEnabled key in registry to zero. That's how I'm doing it on my XPS 15 9570. Still trash of a laptop, but now it sleeps proprly :)

- rienbdj 8y agoIf only it actually did work flawlessly. YMMV
