Pressing the power button (if enabled in power settings).

Pressing the suspend function key <Fn> + <F4>.

Power Button Settings

The function of the power button can be set to Shutdown or Standby in the Power Management Properties dialog box in the Windows Control Panel. However, holding the power button down for more than four seconds will force a power off while operating under any situation, resulting in the loss of any unsaved information.

Power Saving Tips

Avoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications when using battery power. Operating a fax modem, video, or audio equipment increases the computer's power requirements.

Decreasing monitor brightness can also save power. Decrease brightness by pushing <Fn> + <F6>. Increase it by pushing <Fn> + <F7>.
