Overheating Laptop

I would think this is a useless post but hopefully will remind me in the future of the weird things I have done…. While trying to work and at the same time some other things in mind.

Have you ever had your laptop overheat inside a bag? Did it still work? Apparently I had done so a lot more than other people I can think of. The last time was on the flight to London where I actually thought the laptop was turned off but apparently windows decided to restart itself after I uninstalled some Microsoft program I installed the night before. I noticed it on the plane when I decided to work a little and retried my bag which was red hot. I could hardly grab the laptop since it was almost boiling hot and when I opened it saw it was on and with only 30% remaining on the battery which usually last 6 hours. I guess the past hour it was on and overheating it must have the fans working like crazy trying to cool it.

A nice feature would be a laptop that shuts itself down when it goes too hot inside a bag. Does anyone know of such?
