I have two Acer laptops and both shutdown without any problems, and I also live where the heat is intense and similarly find them both very efficient with their cooling. I run etch on one, 3614WLCi and this shuts down by itself, but I have to admit I always do that as root. in the GUI through a shell, "shutdown -h now" Or just get out of the GUI and do similarly. The other an Acer Aspire 1350 has been running sarge since it was unstable, and shutdown the same way. I use both as desktops. Simply because we run on solar power alone. Just being upgraded to Etch now. But maybe doing it the long way doesn't suit everyone. In Fact I don't even know how to do it otherwise now I come to think of it?
