My Macbook Pro turns on automatically when plug in the power cord

I bought a new MacBook Pro about 2 months ago. Whenever I plug in the power cord, while it's turned off (shut down, not sleep), it would automatically turn itself on. Is it normal?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Yes. See the following from How to turn your Mac on or off - Apple Support


Newer Mac notebooks also turn on when you do these things:


  • Open the lid of your Mac, even if it's not connected to power.
  • Connect your Mac to a power adapter while its lid is open.2

Additionally, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models introduced in 2018

or later turn on when you press any key on the keyboard or press the

trackpad.
