Turning off a laptop using the keyboard is a convenient and quick method when the traditional mouse or trackpad is unavailable or malfunctioning. By pressing a specific combination of keys, users can initiate the shutdown process without needing to navigate the graphical user interface (GUI) with a pointing device.
This method is particularly useful in situations where the laptop’s screen is unresponsive or frozen, preventing the use of the GUI. Additionally, it can be beneficial for individuals with mobility impairments who may find it challenging to use a mouse or trackpad.
