      How often do you need to actually turn it on? Won’t it sleep? Pretty much should only need to turn it on after moving the thing. You can restart from with in the OS if you need to.

        I don’t know if there is a version of Poe’s law for Apple fanboys, but your comment makes me think there should be.

          I don’t own a Mac Mini, and never will. I’m not trying to defend Apple.

          But I’ll use my work laptop as an example. I have external monitors, so I never open the damn thing except on the rare occasions I need to use the power button. This happens infrequently enough that it gives me a pretty good notion of how often people need the actual power button on a modern computer.

          If the button can be reached without turning over the device or even picking it up, as it sure appears, what’s the problem? Other than that it’s an Apple device and people love to hate on Apple devices.

            I turn my desktop off every single day, so I need the power button daily, I turn my work laptop off weekly.
