The sleeping light - because what all hardware requires is blindingly bright LEDs that are always on. Even when that hardware is asleep

As the post states, it was almost always accompanied by a light sensor. It always got dimmer either by that sensor or internal clock.

My desk was at the end of my bed. The MacBook with sleep light was always on that. It was never bright at night. Dimming half a second after I turn the light off. Even if the lid was closed.

Oh, also, you can swap batteries of Macs during sleep if it has a removable battery, without losing state.

This is why Apple is Apple.
