Having my laptop wake up when it's in my bag (and the exhaust vents are blocked) is the last thing I want.



S2idle is also effectively how all smart phones and watches work. Note that not every wake up results in the same results though. Your phone wakes up all the time, but it doesn't necessarily do a lot of work when it wakes up. The same can be true for your laptop. It would be unlikely for it to wake up to the point where it needs active cooling. If it does the OS is doing something wrong.
