Here I am (probably along with millions other) poised to buy an Intel laptop after 20 year hiatus (due to crusty older laptops and recently MacBook Pros), this is not looking good for Intel/Microsoft. Power conservation during non-use stage is paramount for us users who travel or have limited power available. Looks like our next laptop is going to be an AMD or ARM laptop with BIOS having configurable S3 support. And non-UEFI and non-ME (no management engine) too!
