hayup,
does anyone use this? i cant get it to work. When i try and install i get a message saying that i do not meet minimum requirements. From what i can find this happens to a few people.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
 
I always find its cleaner to shutdown than use sleep, may just be bad luck but my systems always act sluggish when they recover from sleep.

I tend to save 20-30 seconds using sleep over a full boot but lose a min or two when trying to open a web browser, oh and if you dissable sleep you get a nice portion of your SSD back.
 
I did set it up on my laptop (there is quite a long list of requirements), and took it off shortly after. My laptop has 16GB RAM, so I lost 16GB of SSD (you have to create a dedicated partition for it). And I just couldn't really notice the supposed speed increase. I think it resumed slightly quicker from the deep sleep, but then things like wifi took longer to kick in once it had resumed. So maybe if I was travelling a lot, and using the laptop on and off during the day, I might get some value out of it (deep sleep uses no battery vs sleep which uses a small amount), but again, the difference is pretty minimal.
