Pulling the battery out of an AspireOne forces the notebook into unpowered mode - essentially crashing the system if it wasn't completely shut down first.
Just closing the lid puts the Acer into standby mode; it doesn't do a complete shutdown.
So, unless your mother likes losing data (including personal preference data), she'll have to remember to do a full shutdown every time she turns off the AspireOne... or she can just leave the battery in.

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
