Bad insomnia
however since then even though it's turned off, disabled, quit etc. my laptop now doesn't sleep when I close the lid, I have to use the Insomnia app to sleep the system... it's not the magnet that the problem because it does wake up when opening the lid.
So one day I forgot this, closed the lid, left work put laptop in rubbery case thing in briefcase and went home, via a bar - couple of drinks later... I get home and get the laptop and it's broiling in the briefcase! OUCH!

All laptops suspend to ram by default when you close the lid, its not a hardware or manufacturer-specific thing. The difference is that Windows and Linux both let you disable this functionality in the powersaving preferences, but OS X does not.
However, the difference between my Lenovo T60p is that it has been thermally-designed for being placed in a docking station with the screen closed. My Macbook Pro has not.
Well my previous Compaq, Toshiba and Asus laptops didn't suspend by default you had to turn it on.
