What do you mean by normal sleep and pretty well? My XPS isn't that old and it drinks from battery while sleeping quite fast, 12h and 50% goes down.

My older Dell laptop only drains 1-2% per hour on normal sleep which is also not acceptable, I can't leave it like that over the weekend.

I've always had bad experiences with Dell hardware. The battery life of there devices doesn't seem to last more than a few hours and the batteries where out.

I have a System76 laptop and I can close the lid for a full day and not have issues. The only thing powered is the ram so it lasts a long time.
