A comment on iOS Menu. Parent comment

Does a Surface Pro handle sleep/hibernate properly? The biggest factor that still makes me prefer MacOS to Windows is the fact I can just shut the damn lid and come back a day latter to find my battery is intact and I haven't fried any components.

(And on the other side - I'd love a Macbook with a proper GPU for a reasonable price. Like about $3000 for something with a 1080 in please.)

It took a long time for the bugs to get worked out, but I have not had any sleep/wake issues on my Surface Pro 4 in awhile now. At least since the 1809 update.

Of course! Why would you think it wouldn't? Installing Linux on the Surface Pro is a different matter, and then Suspend just does not work. But with Windows it works pretty well.

Considering that the other comment directly above you says:

"It took a long time for the bugs to get worked out, but I have not had any sleep/wake issues on my Surface Pro 4 in awhile now. At least since the 1809 update."

There are many reasons to think it wouldn't.

Well - My newish Windows 10 laptop fails at this basic task.
