Does it suspend to RAM with echo mem > /sys/power/state and stays there for a couple of weeks on battery?

If not, I will keep my Intel Thinkpad T14 G2, The Last of the Mohicans that can.

Most devices still support S3 sleep, it's just disabled by default as s2idle (modern standby) has become the default. You can almost always re-enable S3 sleep if you really want to, but on modern devices it typically only takes a few seconds to resume from S4 (suspend-to-disk) which technically is safer and more reliable. Also you can always use suspend-then-hibernate if you really want fast resume during the day, but long battery life when it's more than an hour or so.
