It is not consistent between laptops. I have one that will come out of suspend if I open the lid. You have to use the power button for it to come out of hibernation. (Coming out of hibernation looks like a normal boot at first...) I have another that requires hitting the power button for both. I have used systems that required Fn-F4 to come out of suspend, and systems that will wake up by hitting any key. On some systems, you can control what will wake up the laptop ether in the BIOS, or by running a Windows utility program. Then there is this old Thinkpad around here that will not wake up from suspend, no matter what you do...
