My machine was early 2018, the Oryx Pro. It's the thick version. Suspend either suspends properly or NO-OPs. I stuck my laptop into my bag with some dry gym clothes and my books. Realized 30 minutes later the damn thing was running at full power and my bag was too hot to touch. Five more minutes and Caltrain would have been on fire.
They have the newer thinner versions of that laptop (we use them at work), but they have no enterprise-grade support and they all have different quirks (I mean at least have the same quirk, right...?!). If you're trying to replace a keyboard during business hours, and you're a high-level engineer charging hundreds of dollars per hour, and it takes a long time to change the keyboard and learn one skill one time, it will cost the business a pretty penny.
I'd get the Dell Precision 5530 or XPS 13 w/ Project Sputnik for a business setting. It's Dell, and it's the highest-level laptop they sell, so at least they'll take the machine back if it doesn't work (I believe the XPS/Precision line follow a special QA process from other commodity stuff), and I don't think Project Sputnik will disappear anytime soon (actually expanding IIRC).
