Now, maybe what happened is I never actually turned my computer off? Is there any setting that would make the computer not turn completely off when clicking 'Shutdown…' ? I should check again at home, but I've had my new MBP for more than a month now and unless I am missing something completely - or I have been crazy for the last month - clicking 'Shutdown…', waiting for my computer to shutdown, and then clicking on the touchpad (or on any other key) actually turns the computer back on. I'd like for it to power on only if I press the top right corner that corresponds to the finger print reader.ĮDIT: to further clarify, some elements from the comments: (EDIT: By 'powering on', I mean powering on from a completely turned off state, after having hit 'Shut down…', not waking up from sleep mode.)

Recently got a new MacBook Pro and I really don't like the fact that it powers on by a simple touch on the trackpad.
