    Lately my 9300 takes longer than usual to wake up from standby. I would say it takes a 40 secs (which is very long) to bring the screen back on after pressing the power button. This is stand by and NOT hybernate.

    My other 700m is on about 2 seconds.

    Thanks

    Well, it takes my XPS about 2 seconds to awake from Standby as well. You can try updating your 9300's chipset drivers via Dell's support website. You can also reformat your computer which should improve the Stadby time as well. If you haven't reformatted your i9300 since Dell shipped it to you, then I recomend doing so as Dell installs a lot of crapware.

    Pretty well instant. I didn't time it but the two seconds mentioned earlier is about right.
