I came across an idea that , is there a way to turn on laptop without pressing on power button ?
I have found out few options through the internet.
docking station, connect main ac etc.

Beside all these, is there any other option ?
like maybe remotely or some key in keyboard or other?


Thanks

as i will be hooking up my laptop and a monitor together (as an external screen, want a bigger screen) , ideally , my laptop lid will be always closed. Therefore, when i want to power on my laptop, i need to open up my laptop lid and push the power button and close the lid again.
Objective is that, i want to power on my laptop without opening the lid, ( to press the power button).

my workplace has a dell usb-c dock wit a power button on it. so used to connect my Xps, turn on via the button. but that particular dock costs too much for my personal use lol

better just get normal dock, connect everything u want including mouse & keyboard & charger, but never turn off ur laptop. just put it to sleep.. hit ur external kb/mouse when u wanna use. same effect. turning off is unnecessary tbh nowdays
