My Chinese H/PC has a Zzz button, but all it does is bring up the Shut Down dialog.

It it possible to make these devices go into Sleep or Standby, perhaps with a utility? *

* or should that be "an utility ..."

Most all of the sleep utilities for CE devices were written when the hardware responded differently to the software comand. These devices are designed differently and none of them go into the suspend mode as we are used to with our HPCs.

I've not seen any that don't just "shut down" completely...and I don't think we will...not until the hardware is redesigned significantly.

I've been thinking of fitting a magnetic sensor to turn the device off when the lid is closed. Is CE like normal windows, in not liking the power being cut?
