How often do you press the power button on your current Mac mini if you own one? I have one for about 5 years now and probably have pressed it a total of 5 times.
Well since I power my computer off every night, I use the power button every day. I do this for security reasons.
Meh. I would have been OK with the old body with new chips. More ports, better cooling. I mean, the exhaust and intake port are next to each other? Would it just suck in hot air?
You shouldn't do that. Put it to sleep instead and turn it off once a month or two maybe.
There will always be someone unhappy 😂😂😂
As for cooling, I'm sure no one has checked that, they designed this chassis a week ago.
No price increase is impressive. I'll be getting one of these eventually. I'll probably wait until after Christmas as I don't really have a pressing need at this point.
Well since the M4 chip supposedly addresses the hardware vulnerabilities of the previous M chips, I may try sleep instead of turning it off every day.
I love Apple. ‘Wow gang good job with this new mini. But we need something to piss everyone off. Let’s move the power button to the bottom. Perfect. ‘
Is it safe here to feel joy about an Apple product?
This thing consumes virtually no power when idle. Why are people turning it off so often that they'd care where the power button is to turn it back on????
I mean, this is the company known for throttling because they went for for over function, right?
You still need to turn it on for the first time. Or the few times when you need to reset. It's a non-zero number of times we have to use the button. And also sometimes we do want to turn it off. I turn mine off once every month.
It's such a small amount of times that the location doesn't matter though is my point. If it was something you have to do often, I'd understand the complaints.
