There are three reasons Apple opted to hide the Mac Mini M4 power button
  • 🤔 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

    My understanding is that M4 is very efficient, and I would imagine that its energy use on sleep is negligible.

    And as for affordability, I think the M4 Mac mini is supposed to be a terrific deal, no? As long as you use the base specs.

      Yep, from what I’ve seen the base model is actually great value, especially for an Apple product. But that value disappears very quickly if you want to boost any of the specs, because they still massively overcharge for upgrades.
