Where is this power button? I've been searching for it since I got this laptop.

Edit: Wow thanks, don't know how I missed that.

Lol Apple made it impossible to understand how to turn on and off the laptop and removed the startup sound leaving you with zero feedback when you start the laptop for an eternity.

Awesome work.

Open the lid.

1. Startup doesn't take long.

2. There's a progress bar when booting.

You should be able to press the Touch ID button.

The Touch-ID pad is also the power button when pressed down.

The TouchID sensor is the power button.
