So, I have some experience with this, on this particular laptop.
In the past turned on the suspend-to-ram feature, it worked most of the time, but didn't resume may be one out of 10 times. I did more extensive research on this topic, and found that while suspend-to-ram can be made to work on many laptops, it is not very solid. So, now I am somewhat sceptical when someone says suspend-to-ram is working on their laptops, because I want to be able to resume my laptop every single time.
In any case, suspend-to-disk is fast enough for me, and it does imply complete power-off of the system.
My primary work laptop is a LinuxCertified LC2210D laptop. I have this laptop around for few months now, and pound on it constantly.
For me the greatest value add is LinuxCertified's support line (actually email-line) - which has helped me come out of some corners.
BTW, multimedia features work fine on mine.
