can you turn the laptop computer on and off using this device?

I don't know. I think you can if you can connect the computer power supply to the docking station.

No-- the device essentially turns a single usb port into a multi function peripheral that is feeds the appropriate signal back into the primary cpu. It has its own power supply and remains on even when computer is powered down.

You can power it off from the menus. But there is no button on the device to power it down, you just have to unplug it.

As far as I know you can. I have this set up to come on when I turn my computer boots up.

Well unless you buy Sabrent USB switch you can. I bought one so that I could turn it off, and it works pretty well for an on/off switch.

No - there is a on off switch on the bottom of the unit along with a mini usb port

Hello, I don't have it hooked up to a laptop so I am not sure. I have it hooked up to a fume extractor and soldering iron. You turn off one piece of equipment then the others turn off. Since the main power to the laptop is still on I think that the other equipment should stay on. Call the smart strip manufacturer.

no, it is only connected through USB to your computer and your computer must be on for you to use it.

Yes. In fact, it doesn't have an "on" switch, just boots when you apply power. You can shut it down via a menu option.

Yes you can turn it off. You have to do it in the settings. I think you can do it for 1, 2 or 5 minutes.

If memory serves, yes you can. That would draw on the battery so I would think that you could shut it off.

Yes, any device that can plug into a standard electrical outlet (110v) can be powered on and off.

Not. It does not have that function. I haves to be plugged all the time. that is one disadvantage that this computer haves but It works pretty well, very contemporary design.

You don't have to turn it off but you can to save battery life. To turn it off turn it over, there is an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse,

With a USB wireless mouse connected and the ability to wake your machine from "sleep" in your BIOS, yes. I have two laptops one has that option and one doesn't. It will not wake from a power off. You also could possibly use a "Wake on Lan" magic packet if your laptops built-in ethernet jack supports it.

Maybe. I use a laptop as the control and put in hibernation instead of sleep mode. It depends on how much power is needed to maintain the satalite sleep mode. There is a threshold adjustment to set necessary power level to power down the outlets being controlled.

No, the keyboard connects with the same adaptor as the mouse and there is not an on/off. Change out the battery before you chalk it up to faulty.
