For the new alram app to work when the computer is in sleep mode windows says the computer needs to be compatible with "InstantGo" so that it can run notifications when the computer is asleep and instructs users to check with manufacturer. It tells me that my system currently will wake for alarms using the app. I could not find anything about InstantGo on the dell website, but I am surprised that it doesn't work considering that the XPS 12 has Intel Smart Connect to wake itself up to receive updates from the web.
Is there something I need to update to make the windows 8.1 alarm app work on my XPS 12 or some setting I need to change?

I can't seem to find out how to make use of this marketed feature. There are theoretically apps that allow you to get FB and gmail updates, but I for the life of me can't figure out where to actually download them. Has anyone ever successfully used this feature?
