umm... I am surprised you, nor anyone else (yet) mentions the power key being right above the backspace key... I've turned off or put to sleep that stupid laptop so many times I went back to using my iPad 1st gen with bluetooth keyboard and RDP lol
but seriously, how they can continually overlook what clearly is a flaw? if I've got this all backwards, please share the logic behind it
- dangrossman 12y agoHit the Windows key and type "power button" to open the power options control panel. Set "when I press the power button" to "do nothing". You can sleep/hibernate/shutdown from the start menu/screen, or automatically when you close the lid. I have a UX301. The first time I accidentally hit the power button while working, I disabled it.
- joshuapants 12y agoThis is exactly the fix I would apply if I had this, but you would think they'd make it so that you had to hold the button down for more than a quick key press to put it to sleep. Seems like that would be a problem that would come up in testing.
- imperialdrive 12y agoroger that - thank you for sharing! it does jump to mind that with it disabled, I essentially lose that button due to their design, not my fat finger... oh well, compromises everywhere!
- barake 12y agoIt hasn't been an issue, and I thought it might be. I believe all the current MacBooks have the power button in the same location. Luckily OS X and Windows let you disable sleeping when the power button is pressed.
