Oh this hits deep. I recently installed Windows on a laptop after a long time of only using it on a desktop. I thought I was going crazy - where had proper sleep gone ?!
'Luckily' hibernate only takes about 4x as long as sleep while still being just quick enough not to be too annoying.
I agree with the author that it totally defies the purpose of a laptop. Another terrible move by Microsoft
It is why I will fork out 2-3x for a Macbook, because apart from the screens being amazing, when I close the lid, I know it does exactly what 99.99999% of the population expects it to do, and I can safely put it in my bag.

Nope, it does not, but Apple is miles ahead of MS in this implementation, so it works almost as intended (not really sleeping while not preheating your lunch in your backpack).
