MacOS has solved laptop suspend since the 2000s. Windows and Linux still struggle with this, especially due to the switch from S3- to S0ix-style sleep.

Modern Apple laptops seem less special now but you also have to look at them through the lens of their introduction.

A similar thing is true for Sonos. They don't seem all that special now, but you have to realize they have been offering multi-room synced audio with a good UX since 2006. That's before the iPhone even was released.

On Apple hardware. Call me when you put MacOS on any random laptop and get suspend to work.

Windows had working suspend to disk with Windows XP then they messed it up trying to get a more tablet like experience.
