It depends on the bios.  On my Asus Eee900, I have to press the power 
button.  On my Lenovo x120e, opening it is all that is needed.  Your 
system should open up to the locked desktop screen. Unlock and off you 
go where you were before.

I use this extensively traveling and at conferences.  Could not survive 
without it.
