Nothing like packing up your laptop at the end of the day, clicking "sleep" and wondering if it actually will cooperate or if you have open it back up and close random tabs and programs till it does,then waiting for the fan to audibly stop before putting it into a bag!
it's gotten to the point now where laptop manufacturers tell you not to put sleeping/hibernating laptop into a bag at all due to amount of heat they still generate even while sleeping [0]. Only those that are fully shut down should be placed in a bag (according to them).
I am confused. It's still around, right? It might be disabled by default on Windows, but you can always modify the power setting to enable hybernation? I set mine up and replaced "sleep" with "hibernate" in every setting I could find, like power button, lid close, idle timeout.
The problem is with sleep (and the "active" sleep "S0 Low Power" that will check email) and Modern Standby, which uses software to choose when to Hibernate, so might not.
Hibernate S4 itself is fine, except the risk of physically triggering wakeup.
