Here’s the Story about NEW MacBook Pro: Why Just Open the Lid to Start up

Morning News on 31st Oct, there are actually some small features about NEW MacBook Pro not mentioned on the Launch Ceremony, for instance, a small modification expects to lessen the usage of power switch. When your NEW MacBook Pro is off, by just opening the lid, it will automatically power on without pressing the power switch.

This is about Apple Inc.’s special love for simplicity, which is always about Steven Jobs. There was a saying that he liked ideas of design in toasters, a simple product with only one button which you just press to start up, and it will bounce and stop heating after completion. No need to press any other power switch to heat.

This idea holds important influences for many Apple products, among which IPad puts itself forward. Very few users use and shut it down afterward. Starting from OS X Mavericks, clicking power switch means Sleep by default settings. Up till now, most users tend to close the lid and leave it Sleep with very low power consumption.

NEW MacBook Pro keeps this feature and steps further: If you open the lid on power off, it automatically start up for it logically thinks that you want to use it. Thanks to a quicker flash memory, NEW MacBook Pro startup process takes only 10 secs more than wakeup. It is just like another Sleep process.

Steven Jobs has a record that might involve this story:

He admits when death comes in its way, he prefers a faith in afterlife. And he said, “Clap! Then you are gone.” Then he stops with indifferent smile. “Maybe that’s why I don’t like the idea adding an Apple switch.”

Of course the power switch entity is still present (power switch merges with Touch ID on some advanced MacBook), and you can still use it to force a reset.
