Hi all
I was working in the home office yesterday and realised the laboured fans I could hear were actually coming from a closed laptop bag and my MBP (2017) inside it.
I immediately took it out and to say it was hot is an understatement. The bag was also over heated.
Obviously the Mac which had been sleeping had come on at some stage and the fans were at full throttle in an attempt to cool it within a very cramped and padded laptop bag.
Approx 15 mins after the incident, I inspected the CPU temp and had a reading of 70+ degrees
What worries me about this incident is that
There are two things to note about my setup
Has anyone else had this issue and what did you do to resolve?
Thanks

What worries me about this incident is that
- The MBP can come out of sleep while packed
- I was travelling that day with the Macbook and while stowed away, the MBP could have caused a fire in transport
- This has happened before once
There are two things to note about my setup
- I boot and run from an external SSD which is permanently plugged in
- In my System Prefs > Energy Saver, I had checked "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off"
Has anyone else had this issue and what did you do to resolve?
Thanks
