Mac Tip: Shut Down your MacBook with the Power Button

For those that don’t know, by pressing the power button on your MacBook or any other Apple notebooks, you can instantly bring up the Shut Down window.  On the Shut Down window, you can restart, sleep, or shut down your computer.  

I did a quick search and found out on this site that you can also bring up the window with Control-Eject. This is useful if you use a wireless keyboard with your MacBook. I also found out that by pressing S after your bring up the Shut Down window will make your computer sleep. Pretty nifty!  

So to recap:

• You can bring up the Shut Down menu on your MacBook by pressing the power button or control-eject.
  
• You can put the computer to sleep by pressing control-eject, and then S.
