and to add to it, two laptops (one dell and one sony) I have experience with sus to ram is they both only run for 30 hours or so - max. Useless for weekends, or sometimes if you cant access the machine for a day or two unexpectedly. Sus2ram is great for moving a few rooms away, but sus to disk is essential fr anything else and still being able to trust that things will be the way you left them in unexpected situations.
