Nope, the very first (and last) time that I suspended my Macbook and stuffed it in a backpack, it was hot to the touch when I went to go take it out. I looked online and everyone was just advising each other to power down every time they wanted to take their laptop anywhere. So no, Apple can't get it right either. FFS, will OS vendors please just let me hibernate to disk like the old days?
- rrdharan 4y agoYou can hibernate to disk on macOS (even with modern M1 Macs). It’s a pmset option.

- astrange 4y agoIt is there, but hibernation is a pain to implement since it doesn’t have much in common with other OS functions, so eg device driver engineers don’t enjoy implementing/maintaining it much. It is useful in laptops as a last ditch effort to avoid losing data when the battery dies, but that’s one reason phones don’t implement it even though their batteries die much more often.
- minusf 4y agosorry to hear your bad experience. i close the lid multiple times a day on 2 m1 macbooks and i really have to rake my brains to remember when it failed. in 7 years i had the "taking it out hot from a backpack" exactly 1x (with intel). that's a track record i am super happy with. on the other hand i got macos black screens of death for a year as the last stage of every reboot... apple is by far not flawless. but i cant imagine using windows as a daily driver. the shit to put up with is just endless. and it makes my eyes bleed
