But sometimes it fails to power down.

Once, in the airport queue for security, I noticed a lady with the 
laptop lid closed, but still powered up. I told her. She then tried to 
power it off, failed, and in despair, took again her place in the queue.

Long ago, I had that situation, laptop that would not finally power down 
and the battery ran out. I do not remember the cause.
