Presumably, it doesn't sleep or wakes up inside a backpack. I had a 2016 XPS13 with that issue and I keep reading it still exists after all those years.

That's not a bug, it's a feature called "Modern Standby" pushed by Microsoft where laptops essentially run 100% of the time, unless you turn them off. It's incredibly stupid and contra-productive. It's supposed to provide "instant on" experience while it makes the exact opposite. Because I can't safely put it into a backpack without fear of it exploding or catching fire, I'm forced to go through lengthy turn off/on/hibernate procedure everytime I carry the laptop anywhere.

  > It's supposed to provide "instant on" experience Is that actually the case? I can't think of any of my laptops, PC or Mac, that would have me wait around for them to wake up, including those running Linux. It basically takes me more time to open the lid and get my hands on the keyboard than it takes the laptop to wake up. I always thought they were trying to copy Apple's "power nap", for checking email and whatnot while asleep. I always found this stupid on macOS, even though by default it only does it if it's plugged-in, so likely to have network access. Whereas my current PC laptop doesn't even have S3 sleep anymore, regardless of plug-in state. I know about hibernation, but it has quite a bunch of RAM, and despite the fast SSD, it takes longer to go to sleep and wake up than my older, slower ones with S3 did.

I think it's both, or that the latter is part of the former - "instant on" includes things like e-mail being already received etc., essentially a smartphone experience. But it's not a smartphone, obviously, I've never got burned and had battery swelled on my smartphone simply because I dared to put it into my pocket. Laptops, on the other hand, are not supposed to be mobile devices anymore and should stay stationary, at least according to Microsoft.
