Apple has moved the power button in the Mac mini M4 to the bottom of the case
By ForGeeks Apple has unveiled its updated Mac mini M4, and apparently its power button is one of the most controversial design details. It’s now located on the underside of the device, which will require you to tilt or lift the device every time you turn it on or reboot it.
Apple’s updated Mac mini M4 is now available with a power button on the bottom of the device.
Why does the new Mac mini M4 need more space?”
.
In contrast to previous models, where the power button was on the back right side and easy to press along with cables attached, the new Mac mini M4 has moved the button down. In the updated design, which was not shown in the official video or advertisement, the button is closer to the left rear edge of the device when viewed from the front. The button is now only accessible by slightly raising the case thanks to the vent.
This solution may not be entirely convenient for users who have to lift or tilt the Mac mini M4 to reach the button. That means the new Mac mini isn’t likely to fit in a tight space or niche.
More importantly, the new Mac mini M4’s design may not fit into a narrow space or alcove.
What to expect from accessories for the new Mac mini?”
This button placement is sparking interest in possible new accessories and docking stations that could improve access to the power button, as well as prevent the device from moving frequently when powered on. If Apple follows its tradition, it’s likely that third-party solutions designed to make it easier to access the Mac mini M4 in space-constrained environments will soon be available.
