The Hidden Power Button: Mac Mini's Mysterious Design Choice
Don't expect to fit the new M4 Mac mini into too tight a space because you're going to have to tip it to reach underneath every time you need to switch it on.
The new M4 Mac mini power button has been positioned underneath the device, requiring users to tip or lift it every time they need to switch the computer on. This unconventional design choice means that the power button is not visible in Apple's promotional material and can be awkward for users to access. The previous M2 Mac mini had its power button located at the back of the device, making it easier for users to reach.
