turn off: If the notebook is on, press the power button to turn it off.

hold the power button for at least 5 seconds, until the notebook turns off.

changing power button settings

You can change the turn off action of your power button through the power
icon in the icon tray. To go to the Power Options Properties window to view or
change your settings, right click the power icon and select Adjust Power
Properties. The power button settings are located on the Advanced tab.
You may need to expand your icon tray if the icon you
need is not visible.
Do nothing deactivates the power button unless you press and hold it to
force power down.
Ask me what to do displays the same Turn off computer window when you
click Start > Turn off computer.
Shut down completely powers down the notebook. The system closes all
open programs and turns the notebook completely off.
Hibernate (default) completely powers down the notebook, but the system
remembers all programs you have open and saves all information. When
you next power on your notebook, all previously open programs will resume,
so that your desktop looks like it did when you powered down.
Standby/Sleep (same as Fn + F3) places the notebook in a low-power
mode. You "wake up" your notebook by pressing any key on the keyboard.
