    I can’t wait for all the Apple haters to absolutely lose their shit over such an inconsequential thing.

        Another thing that has never been a problem in the decade and a half that I’ve had a magic mouse. Is it dead? Plug it in for 15 minutes and go get some coffee and maybe have a pee. Plug it in when you’re done at the end of the day, and you’ll be golden for a month.

      I’m not an apple hater, I have a Mac mini. However, our power goes out fairly regularly in the winter, and it’ll get old having to get the thing out of the back of my desk at start it again pretty bloody quickly, it’s an obviously daft place to put it.

        Set your energy saver preferences in System Settings to automatically restart the computer after a power failure.

          That’s the most useful thing anyone’s said so far, thanks. My current mini is hard enough to get at, as it’s under the back of the desk, so I’ve used this, as even though the power button is in a vaguely accessible place, there computer isn’t. Why would I want it taking up room on the top that could be used for synths I can’t play, and coffee I haven’t drunk?!

          Is the keyboard not bluetooth anymore? The computer would have to be on to connect to a bluetooth device. If they still had wired keyboards on the other hand…

            You can connect the keyboard with the USB-C cable. That’s how you charge it anyway.

            Although, I know everyone here absolutely hates the idea of ever plugging in an apple device to charge it. Just look at the conniption fit everyone throws over their mice.

            Of course, people who don’t care for it could simply not buy it, but then nobody would ever have anything to make a comment about. This whole community is 99% rage, posting about things that could not possibly matter less.

          Ah, if I used a Mac keyboard then I’d probably have known that. I generally don’t really like Mac peripherals, I’ve got a full size mechanical keyboard and a thumb wheel mouse. I get that it’s not an insurmountable problem, but there’s only one face out of the six that you can absolutely guarantee isn’t going to be immediately accessible, so why put the only button on the whole machine on that face, as opposed to next to all the I/Os?

            This is already been explained to you. Asking the same question more than once expecting a different answer doesn’t seem sensible.

        Do you not already have to reach behind your current Mini to turn it on in the instance the power goes out?

        Now instead of reaching around, you just would have to reach to basically the same area and press a button underneath. Unless you have a bunch of junk on top of the computer, it’s going to take the same amount of effort.

          It looks like the foot/base bit isn’t tall enough to get a finger to the button without lifting the thing up. That seems daft to me. You’re having to move the whole unit about to push a button

            It’s in a weird spot, but it’s also 1.5lbs. so I don’t feel like it’ll be too much effort to slip a finger under there.

      Apple fanboy here. This will prevent me from upgrading from my M2 Pro Mini. I’ll likely end up buying a Studio at some point if they don’t come out with an iMac Pro.

      It’s genuinely one of the dumbest things Apple has done. And that list is growing with nearly every product they release.

        You’re refusing to upgrade because of the location of a single button that you’ll hardly ever use.

        Don’t pretend that’s reasonable.

          What’s unreasonable is Apple’s design philosophy.

          I don’t want to have to unbuild my desktop and unplug everything from my computer just to turn it back on. I don’t even know how I would use this computer in my setup. Because Apple didn’t want to expose a power button. Or because they chose to cut corners.

            It’s not unreasonable just because you don’t like it. And it’s not Apple’s fault you set your desktop up the way you did.
