It's not that you can't put it in a bag, you just need to shutdown the laptop completely before doing so.

The issue is most people don't use their laptops like that. My laptop basically only shuts down doing updates. While I can sort of understand Dells logic, it's also ignoring how people will normally use their laptops. It's really something Dell should adresse in their coming generations of laptops. No amount of writing will get users to change their behavior and even if Dell is correct, it will make their laptops seem inferior if they break because you transportet them in a bag while hibernating.



> if they break because you transportet them in a bag while hibernating.

Power consumption during hibernation is supposed to be zero - that is the concept of hibernation. What's happening there?
