How to Turn Computer On Remotely

[fuzzynavel]

Sorry if this has already been addressed. If so, I would appreciate if you can point me in the right direction.

These days, I mostly use laptops and hand-held devices at home and office. Is there a way to access these devices remotely when they are turned off? I'm against the idea of leaving them on when they're not used.

no, i think you will find that there isnt software product that will remotely power up a piece of hardware
