Hit 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.
This 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.
roger 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!
