    Hey folks,

    I've had my 2015 XPS 13 for a little over a week and noticed my screen would blank out or the laptop would go to sleep randomly. It started happening after I purchased an Adopted SOHO Sleeve. It turned out that the magnets in the sleeve were activating the "closed lid" sensor on the laptop. When I place the magnets close to the vents at the bottom of the laptop, it would initiate Sleep Mode. I now know better not to do that... Anyway, just a heads-up to those with the new cat's pajamas of a laptop!

    Nice catch.

    Now I know how to troll people with magnetic lock laptop lids!
