Turning chromebook off

A

AC Question

When I turn my Acer chromebook off by the button on the keyboard or by the switch in the tray, it goes to sleep instead of shutting down.
It will start when I open the lid and that uses battery.
Is there a way to shut it down when I close the lid. Now it goes to sleep when I close the lid.

Welcome to Android Central! Press and hold the power button until the you see your account log off and the screen fade. That's powered off. If you subsequently close the lid, and then open it again, I think it will automatically power on again, but this doesn't mean it was only asleep during the interim.
