When you close the lid your Mac will go to sleep, unless you have external display/keyboard/mouse and AC power connected (i.e. you're using the Mac in clamshell mode). Admittedly, it's a bit like closing your refrigerator – you just have to trust that the light goes out.

You cannot turn off the auto boot feature in the settings, however, it can be disabled with a Terminal command.


Launch Applications > Utilities > Terminal, and then enter the following command exactly (you can copy/paste):


sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00


Hit return, then you'll need authenticate with your admin password.


If you ever want to re-enable auto boot, repeat with the following:


sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03
