Why does placing the stylus shut down the laptop?

Got a spin 5 for Christmas.
The stylus seems to have a magnet that sticks it to the lower edge of the body.
However, if I place the stylus on the bottom right hand edge, with the tip of the stylus pointing right, the laptop shuts down!

Is this a huge design floor?

    It's actually normal, the magnet is telling the OS you have closed the lid, since it uses magnetics to test for lid closure. As long as the stylus doesn't look like the magnet in the lid you should be good. Is there anywhere else in your model you could connect it?
