I read someone in the Dutch Facebook group saying something similar,
that he still feels the Laptop when it's off.
If it still emits something, maybe you might be able to measure something in a "quiet" zone, like a forrest or a bunker or a underground shelter. It's worth to try, even though some say (like Charles) we cannot really measure everything with meters what some people react to.
I think he said this in a Dutch video i once saw.

"something" should be measurable for sure, but it will be an extremely small amount.
We know the battery eventually dies just by being in there, in a month or maybe more.. so it is using the battery as it waits for the power button to be pressed and a chip is active listening for that. But it's not wifi or anything very strong at all.  Maybe it has to do with the fact that I use this laptop all day long so I'm more sensitive to it.
I seem to be most sensitive to equipment that I was most exposed to.
