Dell XPSes are good too
Unless you plan to put them into a bag or backpack suspended:
With regards to transporting your laptop in a bag or backpack, safety should be your primary concern. You should always turn the laptop OFF [...] Under no circumstances should you leave a laptop powered on and in any sleep/hibernate/standby mode when placed in a bag, backpack, or in an overhead bin. The laptop will overheat as a result of that action.

- FormFollowsFunc 5y agoIt’s a problem with Windows. I’ve a dual boot MacBook Pro and I run into that issue only when I put the laptop to sleep when running Windows. I don’t have the issue when running MacOS. You would think after 30 years Microsoft would figure out how to keep a computer asleep.
- fortran77 5y agoIf you run it on supported hardware it works just fine. The Macbook Pro is simply not open enough for Windows or Linux to support it.

- weberer 5y agoThere's a BIOS setting you have to change in a lot of laptops nowadays. The default, power hungry sleep mode is usually labeled "S1" or "Windows modern standby". True sleep mode is often labeled "S3" or "Linux", confusingly enough.

- uberduper 5y agoThis is true of any laptop. I've cooked a 2012 macbook pro in a backpack because suspend didn't work right.
