    Greetings forum,

    When I'm at home I'm often working in the living room which is about 6x12 meters, and I have a 50" Samsung Smart TV on one of the long walls, so most of the time the laptop is just hooked via HDMI to the big screen with the cable getting in the way, so I figured I'd turn it into a bonafide HTPC by just placing it by the TV and buying a premium grade wireless keyboard/tracking that I could just use while on the couch to save space.

    Only problem, is there a way for the laptop to wake from a wireless keyboard? The only alternative is for the laptop to stay on all the time, which I don't feel too comfortable doing, or going through the annoying process of opening the lid and manually pressing the power button on.
