macbook Pro Retina burning hot in it's carry case
I had my MBPR in an incase in my car for a couple of hours this morning, when I came to take it out of the case it was so hot I could hardly touch it. I had to open it up and keep it in the outside air for a while to cool a bit. I'm not sure if I put it to sleep when I put it in the case or simply closed the lid. When I opened the lid the screen was black, I pressed start and it chimed, the fan then cut in for a while.
I honestly expected to smell hot plastic but there wasn't any smell.
I'm using it on my desk now and it's running cool as it normally does with no fan noise, the power lead is plugged in but it's still barely lukewarm.
What would have caused this overheating?
