Unfortunately, modern Windows laptops don't support S3 sleep, instead they have this Modern Standby where CPU runs in low power all the time.

- beart 2y agoIt's really bad. I've never been able to keep a dell laptop asleep. If I don't shut it down completely before putting it into my bag, it will surely be too hot to touch when I pull it back out. Super frustrating when traveling. Flabbergasting, that this issue has not been addressed.
- lxgr 2y agoWow, I had no idea! When I last used Linux and Windows on a Thinkpad, lid closed was equivalent to S3, as indicated by the little crescent moon LED on the lid, fans out, and the battery in that state would last for several days. My Mac does occasionally turn on with the lid closed to do "useful background tasks" (not actually that useful to me, except for broadcasting "Find my Mac" via Bluetooth), but except for one time when I accidentally had that option permanently flagged one via some "prevent sleep" app (I only found out when I noticed that I could SSH to my laptop while it was in my backpack!), it hasn't noticeably drained my battery.
