No deep sleep on HP Specter x360 15

I installed Arch Linux on my new HP Specter x360, 15-inch touch., everything seems to be working fine except that the laptop gets crazy hot when I put it in my bag (on suspend/lid closed), which means I have to power off the laptop to bring it with me.

The problem is similar to this one:
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … n_suspend/

My laptop is using "s2idle" sleep instead of deep sleep:

{12:53}~ ➭ sudo journalctl|grep "PM: suspend" | tail
Feb 05 18:56:52 archbox kernel: PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
Feb 05 19:49:17 archbox kernel: PM: suspend exit

howerver, I don't have access to other suspend modes:

{12:53}~ ➭ cat /sys/power/mem_sleep                 
[s2idle]

I tried installing and enabling tlp according to the wiki without success.
The "power management" section of the wiki doesn't mention suspend configurations or "s2idle", which seems to be the problem here

I had the same problem using Manjaro and Ubuntu Linux, but Windows 10 is suspending fine.

Any idea how to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks in advance

specs:

{13:00}~ ➭ uname -a
Linux archbox 4.20.7-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 6 18:42:40 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I also tried installing Uswsusp (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uswsusp) and using "s2ram", but my system is still using s2idle:

{13:30}~ ➭ sudo s2ram -f   
{13:31}~ ➭ sudo journalctl|grep "PM: suspend" | tail
...
Feb 13 13:30:59 archbox kernel: PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
Feb 13 13:31:33 archbox kernel: PM: suspend exit

According to https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.18/a … tates.html:
S2RAM is supported if the CONFIG_SUSPEND kernel configuration option is set and the support for it is registered by the platform with the core system suspend subsystem.

I tried adding CONFIG_SUSPEND=1 to my kernel parameters without success
