I got the same proposal from Ren=E9, I will test it soon.

 suspending from a shell vs. suspending using Fn+F4 (or closing the lid).=
 It had to do with the order of suspend commands (who came first, BIOS or=
 kernel). The recommendation was to stick to shell suspending. Perhaps th=
e same thing is true for ACPI.

ACPI handles suspending different from APM. The ACPI-events are sent to
the acpid-deamon, which calls a shell script. So thee should be no
difference.

I have not tested APM on this machine, but I used APM on my TP600. I
think, the battery lasts longer with ACPI, because of better powersaving
algorithms. Additionaly the fan runs  more often with APM. I don't want
to switch back to APM ;)

Sorry, my fault. It is FN+F5. This switches of the power from the
built-in USB-bluetooth device.
