Does Wake on Demand work on MacBook Air, and is there a difference between Intel and Apple Silicon models?

Yes, Wake on Demand works fine on both Intel and Apple Silicon MacBook Airs when connected to power and network, responding to Bonjour services like AirDrop or file sharing. However, classic Wake-on-LAN (waking via magic packet) is limited on Apple Silicon models—it only works in specific power states, not from deep sleep, because Apple prioritized battery life over network wake convenience.
