all I can tell you is my dogs have unplugged me many, many times, and the 12 y.o. laptop still works - I don't go online with it anymore though. The laptop I bought 8 years ago also has been unplugged many times and that's the one I use continually. I do have a new one, but don't use it much because it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the 8 year old does.

When I turn it back on after being unplugged, it does a disk check, never found any issues. It's a Lenovo T510. I bought it as an open box on Ebay 8 years ago for 1/2 the retail cost. One of the best purchases I ever made.
