You referring to the plastic plate at the bottom? Then yes, unless you put pads on it immediately, it will scratch if you move the mini really at all.
does it really matter how many scrathes are on the bottom cover??
Yes the plastic plate with the logo "Mac mini". So you've scratched yours too? I thought someone just scratched it, lol. It's very gentle plastic then?
I can empathize to a degree, as having scratches even on the underside can be a bummer.It's not, indeed, just aesthetics.
It's sarcasm?I can empathize to a degree, as having scratches even on the underside can be a bummer.
I don't think so but it might be. It's kind of like having scratches on your car in a spot that no one can see. They would still annoy you.It's sarcasm?

i just saw on ebay, deals arounds ~$40 for 2014 model. 40 bucks for a cheap plastic. Have you scratched your either?Except that a prospective purchaser will see scratches on the bottom of your mini. I wonder what Apple charges for a replacement bottom cover![]()
Good time, to check it outThere may, or may not be, scratches on the bottom plate of my 2012 Mini.
But... I haven't picked it up to look at the bottom in... years!
Yeah, i saw it for $5. Did you attached it to yours already?
Yeah I go this routeI always stick adhesive rubber feet on my computers when brand new. Did the same with my 2018 Mini.
I think it may actually improve airflow a bit as it raised it up about 1/4".

Does MM has air intakes at the bottom?I always stick adhesive rubber feet on my computers when brand new. Did the same with my 2018 Mini.

It's plastic so if it's slid across a hard surface it's likely to get scratches. I guess you can set it on a mat or even a washcloth. Should you get it replaced? Well if you knowing that there are scratches that no one can see bothers you then yes. I don't think it's that expensive.My 2018 model has scratches on the bottom as well! Should I get it replaced? Is that normal?

It's not, indeed, just aesthetics. I'll leave it as is, i already was looking for a new bottom cover, lol, that's dumb then, if new will be scratched too.
Sounds like OCD to me.So, do you set you MM on the desk upside down so you can see the soft plastic bottom? I don't get it... it's the underbelly of a desktop computer... what am I missing here?
