Won't stay suspended
If your laptop wakes up on its own a minute or two after suspending (just long enough for you to put it in your bag where it can wake up and start overheating!) then disable "wake from USB" -- presumably the keyboard, trackpad, or some other internal component is waking up.
To disable "wake from USB":
echo XHC1 | sudo tee /proc/acpi/wakeup
You need to do this after every boot, so add it to an init script or similar.
To confirm that it is disabled:
cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
(You can tell that XHC1 is the USB controller by comparing the PCI slot IDs from cat /proc/acpi/wakeup with the output of lspci).
