    much to my annoyance I've had a few occasions where I close my lid, put my notebook in its sleeve, then into my backpack. Later when I went to remove it, it was nice and warm since it never went into standby. I've found one thing that does it all the time, and thats having windows camera wizard going, at the part that lets you take pictures with the camera.

    so if for some reason you want the computer to not go into standby, just keep that open. just thought I'd put that out there.

    I've had that happen to me once. I shut the lid to transport the notebook and put it in my bag. Luckily--I just drove home and took it out right away. It was still running and starting to get warm.

    Usually it goes into shutdown automatically--but to be safe, I will manually put it into Standby for such quick transports.
