Well, I don't think it would be a good idea to give up on Linux laptops based on that experience.
There are obviously some feature/functionality trade-off (to be honest that is why I want something like a LC to be a broker between me and the functionality).
I agree that suspend-to-ram (by closing the lid) is simply not worth pursuing at this point. Yes, I know some people have made it work in some situations. But does it work reliably? Does it resume from most situations? Does the laptop crash after a resume when some 3D applications are launched?
I am surprised about your comment on Wireless. That is one area that Linux has made significant progress with. Perhaps you had a Broadcom chip or something? My LC laptops come with Atheros chipset, which are 100% compatible.
