Unless all of your desktop machines have UPSes, I'll have to call bullshit on this one. Since laptops have their own batteries, they don't have the power outage type shutdowns that desktops too. If your suspending gives an unclean shutdown, then you're init scripts aren't configured properly. It should definitely sync the hard drive before suspending.
