The previous model has it in the back, you can’t even feel it properly because it’s not recessed.
On the other hand the last time I turned off my M1 mini was when we moved. It’s 100% silent and takes less power than a lightbulb when it sleeps, so why would I bother powering it off.
Why would you run a lightbulb 24/7?
so you don't have to turn it on when you enter a room
A prior model Mac Mini uses 7W at idle.

So while it sleeps, it still wastes electricity on literally nothing. Gotcha
So does anyone's desktop PC that they're too lazy to power off and I can guarantee those will waste even more.
