How long does it take the current gen of macbooks to wake from sleep, ~1 second?
- gabagool 6y agoI genuinely would love some info or statistics on this. AFAIC remember, laptops wake from sleep almost instantly to the lock screen. Is it a longer wait if one wakes directly to their desktop? I'm with you in not fully understanding the benefit. Maybe this is a technology that is hard to imagine, but is difficult to go back from (60hz, Retina displays).
- brundolf 6y agoI think there's a conceptual difference. Macbooks wake up after a brief pause of a second or two; phones act like they never went to sleep. There's this perception of locking your phone being a zero-cost thing, which isn't quite true of putting your laptop to sleep. I assume this is the gap they're talking about bridging.
- carstenhag 6y agoTakes some seconds in my experience. And about 10 in total for both of my external displays to be displaying useful stuff. Definitely annoying.
- FireBeyond 6y agoThe displays always seem to be the challenge. With my Mac Pro, as soon as I wake it, I can see the LED on my monitors are 'alive', but it still takes that same 10s or so to be displaying data. Also on macOS, if you have an always-on VPN, that can absolutely cause wake time challenges.
- jonplackett 6y agoIt's pretty instantaneous already.
- entropea 6y agoWith two external displays plugged in, 10-15 seconds, sometimes more. Without any, 1-2 seconds.
