Touché. I can understand tho. That shouldn't happen with a new piece of hardware but as we all know, shit happens. They'll give you a new battery in the store if you have a chance to visit the store.

If you had an external monitor, mouse and keyboard connected this wouldn't be an issue. For people using it as the mobile device that it is, sleeping when I close the lid makes a hell of a lot of sense to me.
I've had the opposite happen leaving work and issued the sleep command on the thinkpad only to find out that the shit woke up after disconnecting it from my docking station. I open my bag after an hour long commute only to find the inside of my bag hot as fuck and half the battery discharged because the shit was awake.
