Hilariously accurate, especially in modern Window's systems. Like, you press it and it covers your screen with a 'slide this to shut down', which if we could do that, we probably wouldn't be using the button.
Instead of a 5 second press and done it's become more like a 20 second struggle to tell the PC you really mean it!
Sounds like an iPad.
I think after like 5s something above the kernel kicks in on my PC and it's off in less than a second.
I think in both cases it just cuts power.
Yes but in one case the kernel gets to do it. Holding the power button on the computer bypasses this after 5s while the apple tablet needs a lot longer (it feels like at least 10s).
