Is it safe to shut down my laptop by pushing the power button?

Asked by saucybaby about 1 year ago, 4 answers.

Is it safe to shut down my laptop my pressing and holding the power button? I do that sometimes instead of having to go in programs and then turn off computer and then waiting for it to shut down. When I press and hold the power button it shuts down...

immediately...Yeah so is it safe?

When mine does that it complains once I turn it back on-the whole was not shut down properly. But if yours doesn't do that, I'd say it's fine to do.
