Honestly? Mac laptops are really good right now. The move to ARM based processes has gone… stupidly well. Had you asked me in 2019 if I thought ARM was ready for the main line I would of laughed at you, as would most IT enthusiasts.
But Apple did it, and the battery life savings they’ve managed are killer. Meanwhile Windows laptops can barely get sleep right.
HOLY YES. I have a Mac for personal use but my work issued laptop is a PC. I’m used to just closing the screen on my Mac and it’s asleep. Battery will hold indefinitely. My work one NEVER goes to sleep correctly. If I don’t completely shut it down it will 100% be dead the next day. Obviously there’s a wide range of PC laptops and not all of them are like that, but it’s the little things like this that drive me insane about PC.
My engagement was the links. It seems the problem is a problem regardless of Mac or Windows. The fact the problem is universal in my opinion makes the argument of your post pointless. Downvote away, people.
Edit: and I posted “the same two links” only twice. I’d hardly call that “everywhere” but we all use language differently. And let’s be real here — I got downvoted because I didn’t immediately jump on the Apple cult bandwagon lol. There are a number of posts I made in this conversation that weren’t rude or even incorrect and they still got down voted. Says enough, IMO. I’ll think twice before joining an apple thread next time that’s for sure. Learned my lesson!
This is the only thread people are having trouble communicating me with, and it’s not a coincidence it’s Apple. Please don’t let the door hit your huge ass ego on the way out of the thread.

You literally just have to change the setting so it sleeps when you shut the lid. It’s in power options.
Theoretically, yes. In practice, most models have stupidly buggy ACPI implementations in their BIOS.
The struggle is, I’m very sorry to say, real.

🤷♂️ Seems to be an issue for a lot of people in general 🤷♂️
Edit: gotta love getting down voted for presenting opposing information to people in the Apple cult.
You are getting downvoted for not engaging with the actual argument of my post but simply spamming the same two links everywhere.
Not by me though. My instance doesn’t do downvotes.

You are an extremely poor communicator. And when people react negatively to that your get all huffy and start ranting about “the Apple cult”.
Bye Felicia. You will not be missed.
