Some new laptops cannot actually fully suspend to ram. It sounds crazy but I had this issue even after installing Linux on a laptop. It’s a hardware limitation. You can thank Microsoft for trying to make sure they can sneak in OS updates when you think your laptop is asleep.

It's not sneaking in OS updates, it's faster wake-up mainly.

Combined with properly prepared HW taking less power in modern standby than in S3, but it requires hardware/firmware/driver/userland confluence to work well

By the way, how do people carry those laptops on airplanes if regulations mandate that every radio equipment must be off?

[wkat4242]

They don't. Only cellular connectivity. Most airlines even offer WiFi now

Mandate is a strong word.

Airplane mode is still a thing.
