I'm a bit more concerned that their isn't a dedicated power button. My Mac has froze a dozen times in the last year, and I'm pretty sure a soft button isn't going to be working.
- mtmail 10y agoMaybe for a hard reset there will be a new key combination. Like Ctrl+Alt+Del
- creshal 10y agoOr a tiny inset reset button you need a paper clip for, like on some tablets/smartphones.
- frandroid 10y agoI've ruined a laptop microphone that way once, thinking it was a reset button... :P
- LeifCarrotson 10y agoSure, there already is one: It's Command-Shift- .... Escape. Oh.
- DashRattlesnake 10y agoApple has created a revolutionary new UI paradigm for that: you can now beautifully reset your Macbook by letting its battery die instead of being forced to memorize some terrible keyboard trick. The power button is clearly an outdated technology, this new innovation is the future and we have to embrace it.

- SteveNuts 10y agoit'll probably be apple+ctrl+shift+tab+alt
- jmcdiesel 10y agocould be similar to the Xbox One's button? Its a touch button, so not necessarily "soft", but even if the console is completely locked, holding your finger on it for about 5-10 seconds will reboot. I'm sure they can do something similar (the far right side, if held down, will always be power, etc... and it can work as a touch power button only when the machine is asleep/off)
- callahad 10y agoIf you zoom in on the image, you can see a beveled square on the right end of the strip where the TouchID sensor is. I'm hoping* that the sensor also acts as a power button. *Well, actually I'm buying another ThinkPad.
