           | If I'm not using the mouse I double tap for click+hold.

         | For the uninitiated, without S3 closing the laptop lid will
         | either continue to drain battery pretty damned quickly (S1) OR
         | cause the OS to take much longer to resume completely from disk
         | (S4 aka hibernate). As SSDs get bigger/faster/cheaper in
         | comparison to RAM, S4 will start to seem more equivalent, but
         | to make this sensible on an ultrabook you might want to opt for
         | that 1+TB NVME so you can hibernate on lid-shut without eating
         | a significant fraction of your disk on swap.
