My experience was this is only true for "s2idle" suspend but that mode causes battery drain of 30% every 8 hours which was way more than I was willing to tolerate. It's okay I guess if you're just commuting and unplugging-plugging or something. But it didn't work for me for leisure travel when I would often go 24 hours without opening my laptop.
In "deep" sleep mode (which only works with some SSDs) power drain is minimal but it takes upwards of 15 seconds to resume and reconnect to wifi. This is what I use now. I just tolerate the 15 seconds, but I wish it were as fast as a Macbook.
- radus 3y agoThis is my experience as well :/
- nfriedly 3y agoYou're probably right about that. Mine hibernates after a few hours, and then it does take a bit longer to be ready to use, but I've never noticed significant battery drain in between usages. My SSD is a SK Hynix P41, which I believe does support the lower power states.
- dheera 3y agoYes, I use a SK Hynix P31. I previously used a Samsung 980 Pro and that did NOT work with deep sleep.
