It just shuts off completely, no errors, no warnings, as if it was on mains and you switched it off at the socket.
I checked last night and the area that "feels" hottest after a shutdown is the vented area where the ram and wireless card are, very hot indeed, trouble is it's got a warrany sticker across it, so no peeking or fiddling allowed! The cpu and hdd area are significantly cooler (and don't have warranty stickers, weird!).
The odd thing is that it does it on a table just as much as sat on your lap, even though on your lap obstructs some of the vents.
