This is why people use Apple laptops. I’d be fine using Linux as my OS. But my employer issues my laptop and chooses the model. If serious non-Apple laptop manufacturers are still making crap like this, how do I know my employer won’t choose hardware as bad as this for their Windows and Linux employees?
I agree, you're going to get downvoted but it's just true. This _is_ why people use MacBooks. It just isn't the same experience in other cases, especially now with the extreme quietness and performance of M1, but even before the standby behaviour was extremely reliable.
You can turn power nap off, and "some macs have issues" is _very_ different from Dell saying "if you put it in your bag on standby it voids your warranty".
So your justification for Dell voiding warranty upon putting the laptop in the bag on standby is that reads notes Apple...does not void the warranty, and that it is somehow virtuous to explicitly void warranty instead of honouring warranty? Sorry, but your logic is completely insane.
I'm not justifying Dell here, I'm just replying to the comment that you can somehow avoid these issues with Apple.
I have had experience with my last personally owned Apple products fighting them to honour the warranty. Maybe they're better in the US, but it's not evident to me that that's something you can rely on: https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/apple-admits-faulty-macbook-...
I agree with the idea that Dell should still be made honour the warranty, via court proceedings if they hold out too long, just as has occasionally been needed of Apple in the past.
OSX does standard ACPI S3 for Intel Macs, it is "real" sleep. If you turn on darkwake (Power Nap) it does as advertised and wakes up to do background tasks. It isn't the same as Windows, UEFI, and the S0I3 state. The OSX ACPI doesn't even implement it.
