The other cool thing about this, is that the user can just use regular sleep, including closing the lid, and the firmware can flip it over on its own to hibernation without involving the OS.
There is a possibly nasty problem with this. The computer has to awake (at least partially) at some point (when battery is low) to store the sleep image on disk, then power off. Hopefully, this may take only a minute, but the laptop may at that time be inside a bag. No ventilation, no cooling. And, if it hangs and does not finish in a minute, then it can overheat badly. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
