The company has added the same butterfly switches you’ll find on the new MacBook Pro, so it no longer feels like typing on a flat piece surface. It seems incidental, but as the primary method of interfacing with the machine, it amounts to a lot. Perhaps most importantly, the company has addressed one of the biggest complaints with last couple of models - that flat, under-responsive keyboard. And this latest version is some nice refinements to the system. It was buried amid a flood of news as Apple powered through announcements at the WWDC keynote on Monday. Like the majority of the hardware news at the event, the differences are entirely behind the scenes - and let’s be honest, upgraded Intel processors will never be as exciting to the layperson as a Siri speaker or iMac Pro.īut slowly and surely, the little machine is becoming a more well-rounded and capable device. This gives a clear - if somewhat weird - indication that the laptop is actually fully shut down as opposed to sleeping.There’s a decent chance you missed the MacBook news this week. This is not something my smaller screen MBP had (there, you could always click on the trackpad). It's really weird, this one seems to have a feature where the clicking of the trackpad is blocked (I mean physically blocked, with an actual resistance) until the laptop is turned on using the fingerprint button. UPDATE: For a couple of weeks, I've been using another MBP with a wider screen (I believe 15in as opposed to 13in) but bought around the same time. So I decided to ask another question about it: Why won't my new MBP actually shutdown when I click "Shutdown." in the "apple" menu In fact, I have clicked "Shutdown." many times in the last month without ever having to press the touch id to power my laptop on: I always simply pressed on the trackpad, which made me believe this was the new normal with MBP and triggered my asking of this question.Īnyways, I feel now like the issue is separate from the question I asked (i.e., my real issue seems to be that my laptop fails to actually shutdown when clicking "Shutdown.", which is different from what I described). This, unfortunately, has nothing to do with how long I wait between clicking "Shutdown." and pressing a key or the trackpad: This has happened many time after waiting the whole night between clicking "Shutdown." and pressing on the trackpad. But then a simple touch on the trackpad or a hit on any of the keys "wakes it up", as if it had been turned off and was powering on again (it goes through the black background screen with the white apple in the middle and the progress bar). Unfortunately, the issues remain that when I click on "Shutdown." in the "apple" menu, the laptop does not seem to fully shut down. In that case, the MBP behaved as expected, i.e., it would only turn back on using the touch id button again, and would not turn back on by a simple touch on the trackpad or by pressing a key on the keyboard.ĮDIT: after a couple more tries, it appears I was mistaken, in the sense that even force shutting down the laptop does not actually solve the problem (see the discussion in the follow-up question Why won't my new MBP actually shutdown when I click "Shutdown." in the "apple" menu). Ok, following Sam's recommendation, I have tried to force shut it down using the touch id button. I guess what I would like is for my new MBP to behave more like my old Macbook air, i.e., 1) Actually fully shutdown when I click "Shutdown.", and 2) Only turn back on when I hit the "power one" button, which on the new MBP I always assumed was the "touch ID" button. 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.)
#Why does the new macbook pro keyboard feels flat pro
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.
