Comment on Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed?

The problems are software, not hardware.

Of course hardware is part of the problem too.

PC architecture does not allow, for example, that the network interface may feed any data directly to the harddisk. Every bit and byte must be input to the CPU and then output from there.

Otherwise we could allow the CPU some real good sleep while other devices remain a little active.
