[QUOTE="milessthomas, post: 1304894, member: 27943"] Since I've been used to laptops not having a sudden motion sensor I've always been cautious about leaving the system turned on when moving it. I always completely shut down my MacBook Pro when putting it in my bag or moving it between classes. When you put it in sleep or close the screen the computer hasn't fully gone into sleep mode until the light on the front edge starts pulsing, plus theres always a chance some program you had open is preventing the computer from entering sleep mode and really just turning off the screen. So if your putting it in a bag or carrying it around theres always the chance that the system may overheat (in the bag) or the hard drive is still spinning and you're causing damage. I may be wrong, but in my situation I've fried a logic board before because I thought it was in sleep mode and some app kept it running and it overheated in my InCase sleeve. [/QUOTE]
