It was perfectly fine, until someone had this great idea that PCs should behave like cellphones: just turn the screen off, meanwhile stay awake and connected. Hopefully it means doing the minimum necessary to receive and notify emails, but in practice this means the laptop will decide it's time to run the antivirus scan, do your scheduled backup and perform all kinds of maintenance right when your laptop is in your backpack and you're on your way to work.
