People who use Macs have been just closing and opening their computers for about a decade and not thinking about it.

The wifi is still connected, the ssh session I was in is still connected... The tests I was running when the doorbell rang... they pick up where they left off. It's nice.

It's stuff like this that keeps me begrudgingly coming back to Apple for laptops.

Yes and no. There have been weird issues where the machine wakes but the screen stays dark and another where externally connected monitors won’t necessarily work on wake. Possibly some of this is connected fo the hell which is the dongle lifestyle.

Apple seems to have come out the other side of these issues with recent laptops/OS releases (last 18 months).

I did this with my year 2000 Windows laptop ... just shows Apple is 20 years behind on modern technology.
