Apparently there is a button on the keyboard, so you get to buy an Apple keyboard (I guess that is bundled?) and don't get to use your own keyboard with it.

I'm not going to get a mac anytime soon, but at least it would stop my cat from powering down everything spontaneously

Why can't they put the power button on the front where it belongs. It's already stupid that they put it on the back, putting it on the bottom is downright idiotic. If they don't want to mess up the oh so important Apple aesthetic just make it an invisible touch button or something. Apple hates usability.

Yeah, make the logo a button or something.

To be fair, aren't those mini PCs meant for HTPCs/home servers? You're not really supposed to turn them off, and if you really want easy power button access you can just set it upside down. I'd say it's a good idea if you take into account that it's aimed at Apple customers who care more about "design" over usability. They truly "think different" over there.

Honestly as infrequently as I turn my machines off this really doesn’t bother me. The mouse on the other hand….

"different" is just another word for "weird"

Unless your computer has issues, can’t you just power off from within macOS?

Please don't ever turn your computer off, it makes it really hard to spy on you. Thanks -Apple
