I love the idea of it, and I love how tiny it is. Will probably get one when money isn’t so tight.

But I was curious if the power button was accessible without lifting it. And it genuinely isn’t. Why does Apple like shoving important IO and buttons underneath the device. Good thing it’s light?

Oh and a funny thing was the staff had to loosen its mount on the table so you could turn it on.

If the power button location is the biggest issue with this Mac Mini then it'll do just fine.

Easily. It's annoying, but if it bugs me that much I could just flip it upside down and put a rubber pad down so the top doesn't get scuffed.

How often do you turn off your computers?

I feel like “buttongate” is one of the biggest non-issues the internet has gotten riled up with in a while.

That's beside the point. Dumb design doesn't stop being dumb, even if the consequences are minor. It wouldn't deter me from buying one, but pointing out it's fucking stupid shouldn't be controversial...
