Apple explains why the Mac Mini power button is hidden underneath (www.theshortcut.com)

🤔 Apple has shared why the power button on the Mac Mini M4 is hidden

🤏 It’s mainly because of the Mac Mini’s compact size

🤷‍♂️ But also because users apparently never use the power button on a Mac

👉 Apple also says the button can be accessed easily, even though it’s underneath

To be fair it's power consumption is effectively zero at standby and only 4-5W at idle/light usage.

If you were worried about this amount of power usage you would be better off unplugging your microwave when not in use to avoid running the clock display

Yeah, the power draw argument really is the worst one of the bunch. Hell, I don’t shut down my gaming pc for the same reason, I’m not worried about my computer’s power draw while asleep.
