Your own quote mentions you can't hibernate it.

And we recently could close laptops, have them sleep/hibernate and not wake up until you open the screen again so sticking them in a backpack was fine.

Not sure if the issue is Windows or the hardware but it's a recent thing.

Unless Windows is doing something weird, hibernate is no different that shutting it down.

Problem is with the drivers, many devices don't support resuming after hibernate.
