Elyz78096y@filthyranter I did the first time I had the issue but that didn't stop it so I turned it back on, haha. I do like auto sleep, very convenient because I always just close the lid and go.

neriald14536y@Elyz I find setting power button to sleep more effective. I like the ability of closing the lid without sending pc to sleep. Yet of course it is a personal choice.

@Elyz I like being able to start a long-running task and closing my laptop's lid. If I want it to sleep, I press the power button before closing. :)

That's really a design flaw. They should make their products compatible with people who use bracelets.
I had to disable sleep at closing lid at work because it's a lenovo with windows and doesn't wake up properly. -
Elyz78096y@electrineer there were several comments from people who had had the same issue with Apple watches and whatnot. It wasn't even a post about my specific model of laptop but one from the same series, so I guess it's a common but weird problem. Kind of shitty that they haven't made an effort to solve the problem or at least make people aware of it. I wouldn't ever have guessed it myself if I hadn't come across that post. I was pretty much ready to toss it and buy a new laptop, ngl.

I have to share because I'm so confused at the moment. After troubleshooting for months trying to figure out why my laptop would randomly go into sleep mode, as I was typing. (Imagine my frustrations working on exam projects to have the screen just go black on me every 30 seconds.)
Today I found a post on the Dell forums by another person with the same problem. Apparently a magnetic closure on my bracelet triggered a sensor to think I had shut the lid on my laptop. What. The. Fuck. Guess that explains why it would only happen sometimes, as I don't wear this bracelet often 🙃🔫 definitely the funniest and weirdest problem I've ever had with a laptop.
