Yeah you are right, my little "hack" is really something that makes it less terrible, but it does not make it as nice as traditional S3 sleep. The fact that this sleep mess is still so buggy and annoyance prone beggars belief.

This might be an urban myth so read with a pinch of salt, but there was a line of Dells at some point that warned to not close the lid without a proper shutdown, because it'll literally cook the LCD and cause permanent damage. Dell decided this was the right course of action for this problem.

I think that wasn't just a urban myth, like AFIK (and that could be wrong) it did happen but only rarely and only under certain conditions etc.
