Is there a way to get a laptop or tablet PC to startup at predetermined times of the day, run a program and then shutdown again?

PC Startup or Wakeup

1) You can use the Scheduling Task Scheduler, but the PC must be on to do that. I use my PC to wake me in the morning with classic hard rock.
2) In the power management of my Pentium II 400Mhz I have the options WOL (wake on lan) and (wake on ring, modem)
Basically you can send a signal by modem or network cable and the machine will start-up. The computer must support sleep mode to do this.

Some newer BIOS's that I have seen have a system power up at a given time option. Like the ASUS P4S800 motherboard.
Look at your BIOS Power menu.
I think you should be able to shut down the system programaticaly.
Wheels within wheels / In a spiral array
A pattern so grand / And complex
Time after time / We lose sight of the way
Our causes can't see / Their effects.
