Yep, the MacBook has an auto-boot feature that activates every time you open it. it's a feature that I personally love but I understand that it might bother you and I can advise you how to turn it off!


Open the Terminal and copy paste this line of code:

sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00


If you then want to turn the feature on again someday, simply reopen the Terminal and type:

sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03


greetings!
