It's a bit of a bummer given the power of the machine it would be otherwise good in IT environments. The small size would allow a rack or stack of them. This one ~~feature~~ design choice makes that not possible. It's on purpose.

Guess the Magic Mouse design team was getting bored

Now you can slam the top of the machine to boot it up

excellent marketing strategy to get us talking about their stuff that would otherwise get almost completely under our radar.

i mean fuck where the power button of a product ill probably never need is.

Oh an Apple thread. More people angry at something they were never going to buy anyway.

Just be thankful they didn’t put the power cord there like they did with the mouse.

Don't worry, there will be suitable USB accessories available for this.

okay, I was gonna say that it’s not that big of a deal because you can just slightly lift it when you want to turn it on (or just slide your finder under it, if they’re small enough) but judging by that photo, it seems like the power button is at the back of the computer? whyyyy??

anyways, im more impressed by the fact that their new shiny mouse who finally uses USB-C still has the charging port at the bottom. im starting to think they think it’s a good design???

I can't wait for Apple to reveal a desk, with a keyboard built-in underneath the back side of it.

This is more like a "power button" in that case lol

Part of the new Apple power bottom design strategy.
