Hey guys,

I have noticed that my late 2014 MBA 11" when awaking from sleep, doesn't happen instantly, it takes 2-3 seconds sometimes, I just want to confirm with you fine folk if that is normal or a software / hardware issue?

203 seconds? No way, something is wrong. Or did you mean 2-3 seconds? That sounds about right.

Thanks for the swift reply, my apologies I meant 2-3 seconds, EDITED!

So that seems reasonable, just that I had the impression the MBA are to be near instant for start up?

So IYO there isnt really an issue? The issue more with me? :D

Well turning on the power button the login screen is almost instant, after entering my password it takes about 2-4 seconds it feels like to get to my desktop, it'll load like a quarter of the way, hold for a second and then finish all the way and then be ready to do stuff

Yeah, mine is similar for the boot up, its the sleep I was meaning, i.e. wake-up after hibernation. Not being powered down.

Ah i see, well depends for me, if it's been in the sleep state for like 30 seconds it's pretty instant, if a bit longer maybe a second or two, i think you're in the normal range (assuming mine isn't also affected by a new undiscovered flaw, lol)

Same here dude, if sleeping for a while takes the few seconds, but if I try for instance put the lid down and back up for a short period it is near instant.

Lets hope our luck isn't out and there aint no new "problem" we have discovered :D

Please be aware that the laptop usually needs a few seconds to go to sleep.

So if you close it and open it almost immediately afterwards, you might catch it when it's still going to sleep and then you have to wait longer for it to sleep and wake up again.

So don't just sit there opening and closing the lid and get sad about how long it takes in this unrealistic situation. :)

It's Sunday, we got to find something to do!
