This is really interesting to me. I too have an 11th gen Intel machine running Arch, and while I get better battery life than 2 hours, it's still the weakest part of the system, and I very rarely put it to sleep, I just turn the whole machine off. Someday I was planning on upgrading to the AMD motherboard, but didn't really see a reason to do so yet, but this might accelerate my plans.

Yeah, sleep on the 11th gen is basically worthless. But the battery upgrade (especially after a few years of wear and tear) and the new AMD board are worth it.
