So the device is (supposedly) awake enough to connect to the Internet, check for notifications and updates, but just not quite there to notice that it has been physically unplugged.

Bravo, what an excellent design.

The same thing happens to my work Lenovo ThinkPad laptop.

Thanks for that link. My ThinkPad X1 Carbon (gen 7) BIOS supported choosing Windows 10 or Linux sleep mode - I switched to "Linux mode" and now I have S3 sleep. We'll see if that fixes the issue.

I've battled this for a long time. The prospect of having my laptop be and stay charged is exciting.

It makes sense, because one of the modes of laptop use is to attach external display, keyboard, etc, along with power (2 or even 1 USB-C cable), close the lid, and work.

It would make sense if there was stuff attached to some USB port, but it's not. I would assume the laptop should know this, but again, it's not.
