How can MacOS possibly sleep/wake any faster than Windows? My Lenovo X1C wakes up so quickly that the limiting factor is how fast I can enter my PIN on the keyboard. Well below 1 second, maybe 0.5 seconds. Going to sleep is the same, I'm not going to measure it but it feels like it's about 0.3 seconds.

Yes, provided it's not dead because it didn't actually sleep or you have to boot it up because it decided to shut itself down at some point (windows update?)

Sleep on windows is a hot mess, I've never had an experience I had any amount of confidence in.

It's become unreliable under linux as well. It used to work fine. The whole UEFI including the new si0x or whatever that word is again destroyed a perfectly fine experience all because it seemed like a good idea by microsoft.

They just need to feel superior about their Macs. My experience is that Windows wake just as fast if not faster.

But in typical Apple fanboy fashion, they will compare a 2K laptop to a random 500 cheapo laptop.

Apple real strength is in the efficiency, but there are many things it can't run and they leave top end performance on the table (outside of video editing).

This happened about 15 years ago back in the Windows 8 era.
