IIRC the 4 second hold does a forced shut down/turn off.  A firm push 
and release will do whatever you have configured it to do in the power 
options.  Typically a choice of Sleep or Hibernate.  IIRC older models 
could not be configured and would do a Restart on push and a forced 
shutdown/turn off on a push and hold.
