A bit late here but I had to wait to reboot one of my machines to make 
sure I knew what I was talking about. I have four Lenovo machines, an 
M90, M92, m910 and M900. Under the “Power” tab in each case there is the 
option to return to the last state, if the power was on it will power up 
otherwise it will stay off.

I think this is the option that want.
