Theo has frequently stated that the choice between ACPI and APM is dependant on a few internal heuristics.. this system does indeed appear to be newer, and probably is defaulting to ACPI not APM, but ocicat is correct that the user could have offered a little more.. including a dmesg.

Upgrading to 4.7 or even to a snapshot would also be a good idea.
