Or you could buy a old laptop with APM suspend-to-disk support,
and you would not even have to think about drivers, just press
the button. Work flawlessly for me since 1998.

No doubt. My good old Sony 505TR suspends and wakes in a fraction of the time of any ACPI machine I've ever seen. Close the lid, it beeps and sleeps, open the lid and press space bar it beeps and is awake almost instantly, never a problem. I just wish I could have that same exact laptop with a 2.0Ghz cpu in it.
