in sleep mode? I have to transport my laptop almost daily on my bike. I have a backpack with a laptop compartment, and a neopreme case that fits the laptop like a glove. I put it in the case and in the backpack. I always turn it off to transport it, but having to restart and shut down all the time is a hassle. Can I put the laptoip in sleep mode while it's in the backpack being transported? And would it be okay to leave it on sleep in the neoprene case in the backoack when not being used? Would it overheat, or would the harddrive get damaged from riding around in the backpack?
 
Nothing wrong just sometimes if it gets a bit to rocky it may start up, which is unlikely as long as the case is closed properly, but please don't do this for weeks as your computer or Laptop needs to shut down to install updates properly. Once every 2 Day's is best.
 
Yes, you can just put it in sleep mode. Sleep uses little to no power, so no heat would be generated. I do this with my laptop everyday.
 
you have a better chance of the hard drive being damaged. this could be reduced by purchasing a SSD...they can sustain force of up to about 50Gs...
