I confirm this battery drain occurs when the Sleekbook is turned off,
not suspended. For the doubters, how do you explain the difference
between Win7 and Unbuntu 12.10? I can actually use Win7 as a work
around, work in Ubuntu power down, boot into Win 7 and then power down
and I have a battery drain of 1.3% per day and not 17% per day as with
Ubuntu. If I leave the Sleekbook for a week having powered down with
Ubuntu I have a dead laptop. Makes a nonsense of the 7 - 8 hrs battery
life I bought the sleekbook for. The Sleekbook has the battery embeded
in the Laptop case and is not user removable. I will risk my warranty
and take the Sleekbook apart to test the battery depletion with the
battery disconnected.

The HP Sleekbook is a cut down Ultrabook, I noted Win7 has some HP
advanced Power controls, is it possible there is a newer ACPI interface
and Ubuntu leaves certain motherboard device power interfaces in an
incorrect state? Is there anything in the attached logs? I did a suspend
and resume at the end of the Kernel log (17:06.04). There were 4 ACPI
errors on resume:

What about this:

Bug]: cpu 1, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x400, but the 
register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu
