I think the M series laptops were the first full manifestation of the laptop idea.
Instant sleep/resume, great input devices and monitor, cpu power at will without overheating or loud fan, super fast shock resistant storage, 20+ hours of battery life, no battery drain when off.
It took us 30 years but we finally have it.
Now let’s hope WIntel can also catch up soon.
- Saris 3y agoIt's kind of surprising that Intel (or I guess x86 in general) still has basic issues with sleep, laptops waking up in your bag and that kind of thing. The forced modern standby thing they're doing has only made it worse.
- PennRobotics 3y agoMy Intel NUC was unresponsive and overheating when I came home from work today. It's the second one I have. The first was exchanged because it would overheat and become unresponsive. It doesn't have anything running while asleep except background services and Firefox. There are several support notes about sleep problems and overheating, so I know I'm not alone. No combination of BIOS or OS settings should make it possible to overheat while asleep---especially not the defaults! (Notably, overheating occurs equally in Windows or any of the 5 Linux distros I've installed in the past two years.) It's particularly disappointing when the computer is made by the processor company. There's no excuse---no missing documentation or inability to test side effects. Expecting peerless hardware support was THE reason I went with Intel instead of any other small-form-factor PC. Honestly, at this point, if I want Windows, I'll probably run Parallels on a Mac. I hate Mac. That's where I stand with Intel and Microsoft.
- Saris 3y agoYeah overheating ever is just poor hardware design, not enough cooling.
