In case you're not aware there's rarely a need to pull a battery on a
laptop, in my experience anyway. Usually holding down the power button
for 5 seconds or so is enough to hard power off a machine, but of
course it should only be used as a last resort.
This has not been my experience. I have been locked up and held the
button down for up to a minute with nothing happening. In the end it
was battery pull time. So far I have only done it once on this Lenovo
x120e. The next time I will be sure to hold the button long enough to
test this.
Yes, it is always the last resort.
