>It is a matter of you messing with something you didn't understand, jamming the machine in a bag to overheat, and then having to replace the battery.

Wrong.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbook#Suspend

>If this workaround not used, there have been reports that the laptop's memory controller setting may be screwed. After an incorrect suspend, if the corruption happens, many memory blocks starting with ~1G will be corrupt. Good way to see it is to use "memtest86+". The only way to fix controller setting is to open the case and plug off the battery. Please note that on this ultrabook the battery is not a user serviceable part and this could mean that by opening you can get your warranty void! If you start Windows or Linux with a corrupted controller, you will get system crashes or/and damaged file system.
