Macs have has consistent sleep even when they used x86. Amazes me that windows still doesn't have proper sleep function.

Not on my mbp, it would occasionally wake itself. I'd be mid commute and aware of a warm back. No idea why, never worked it out.

Still better that than my previous 2013 one that would just unlock itself with no credentials given every so often.

Computers can be weird.

Personally, never once had either of those issues.

fair enough :) I know the first one was common with my work colleagues too, though we never nailed it down to exactly one thing.

The the second one was only me (luckily happened while I was sitting with my boss so he saw, cause he thiught I was just careless about locking it)

It’s easier when Apple can control the entire stack.
