Macbook and the mysterious sleep

I finally worked out why my Macbook was randomly sleeping.

Clues

It only seemed to happen when I was working while sitting up on the bed with the computer on my lap. It seemed to be related to the position of the computer or possibly the lid. The computer would sleep. I’d wake it and login again. Continue. Sometimes it would happen once. Sometimes three times in ten minutes. Annoying. I assumed some hardware defect.

I’ve never liked laptops. The screen seems so small. A powerful laptop is too heavy; a light one doesn’t cut the mustard. I can’t even find the on/off switch.

Then there are those fancy new Macbook Pros with retina displays. They seem light and powerful and the screen looks great. I don’t know much about Macs, but I’d like to learn.

But I need Microsoft Windows and Visual Studio. I know theoretically I can run a virtual machine or setup a dual boot, but I’ll bet it’s all a bit of a hassle and rather clunky…
