is it possible to switch on a laptop via a key on a keyboard?

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to not open up your laptop to switch on the laptop, instead to setup a key on the keyboard that when pressed will power up the laptop?

TIA

thanks for the replies,

So you guys are saying there is no way to switch the laptop on without opening the lid? I read somewhere that you could put the laptop into hibernate mode and in this mode you could leave the laptop always on for like a week or more, and then you press a key on say a wireless keyboard which will then make the laptop startup again, is this possible? And how would i do it?

I mean tell me guys, is this the only other way to do it?

I never heard of a laptop docking station
