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.

    How do you wake a Mac Mini? Is it enough to just press a keyboard button? If so, does the keyboard have to be wired, or does Bluetooth work?

      Move the mouse or touch the trackpad, or press any key on the keyboard and it wakes up quickly. BT OK.

      Many macs that I work on haven’t been shut down for months, usually just rebooted after system updates.

      Sleep on a mac mini is very low power: if you use the computer every day it’s less energy than booting up.
