powering down My VERUS

[Claytons Automotive]

OK, I have several different opinions on the proper way to power down my VERUS when done with it. I treat the tool like a tablet PC, or even a laptop. When done I close all my programs, then use the Windows start menu to shut off PC.
I have been told not to use this method but to just hold the power button down till it shuts off... I know that is wrong as it is the same as pulling the power cord on a desktop system.... not good.

I use the windows button unless it is so locked up even that won't respond. Then its the power button of death.

Power it down just like a normal PC. This is the best way.
