Re: Closing laptop without suspending

2008/6/24 Kamaraju S Kusumanchi <raju.mailinglists@xxxxxxxxx>:
I do not know the solution to your problem.

But first of all is it advisable to move a computer while it is running? You
can induce a lot of vibration into the electrical/mechanical components
(hard drive failure comes to my mind) while walking. I would not do that if
I were you.


That is a good point. In any case, the thermal vents on this
particular machine are not covered when the lid is closed. Regarding
the hard drive, I do not think that there is a breaking mechanism for
stopping the drive when the machine suspends, so at 7200 RPM even
after waiting a full minute after suspend the disk is likely still
spinning at a resectable speed.

Can anyone shed more light on the subject?
