gollark: Even a "turned off" one is still going to have a few things running, so it can detect the power button and possibly do wake-on-LAN.
gollark: It's computers all the way down, and they are probably not very secure computers.
gollark: And being a laptop, there's an "embedded controller" running the fans and whatever, and maybe even a computer thing managing the battery.
gollark: As well as that, the dedicated GPU is arguably a "computer" too, and it has at least one microcontroller on it for various things. Also, the internal keyboard and camera are connected over USB, which means they probably have their own microcontrollers.
gollark: I don't have one of those, but yes.
