[QUOTE="thatDude, post: 1806028, member: 401105"] Hello, I've tried searching the web for an answer to this problem, but I cannot find anything, so I thought I'd check here. I purchased the new Retina 2018 MacBook Air. It works great and I like it, except for one annoying thing that I discovered today. When the laptop is fully powered off, not in sleep mode, but actually fully powered off, pressing the trackpad, or any key on the keyboard powers on the laptop. I found on the Apple website that this is not a bug, but an actual feature. They also say on the Apple website that in order to properly clean your MacBook you need to power it off, and clean with a damp cloth. Well when I power the laptop off, and attempt to clean the keys on the keyboard, I inadvertently press keys, which promptly powers the laptop back on. This makes it impossible to clean the keyboard with the laptop powered off. I can't find any setting which disables this "feature". Does anyone know how I can disable this? [/QUOTE]
