laptop power button advise

[Dazed_75]

Historically most BIOS's have a way to set whether the power button is
an instant off or one that requires you to hold the button depressed
for a number of seconds (usually 15).  So you might want to check
yours.  Personally, I think the default should require holding the
button in for a time.
