If anyone was wondering how much space is between the power button and the desk. After seeing the M4 Mac mini in person, I don't mind it. It's so small that you almost just want to pick it up and hold it. It's just something you have to experience. Turn it on & forget about it.

Also, this was just a joke. I obviously don't recommend anyone doing this. A few people have actually tried, and noticed increased temperatures and reduced performance.

For this to work you need to reverse the fan, by rotation or blade angle, because thermodynamics Heat rises and if you keep it from escaping it could be a problem
How many times does one typically use the power button on a Mac in a year? 😶 For me it was 3 times, with 2 of those due to a power outage

They can give button anywhere on top, on sides but intentionally they have done this so next time they put on top and present as a major upgrade. Btw, the device is affordable and best in this segment
How about giving this a try? 😂

Those who were blaming Apple in placing power button in the wrong place. You were using it wrong. As always.

If Apple was clever, they should have put the button in/as the Apple logo on top.
Yes, you are right!

M4 Mac mini の電源ボタン位置に不満のある人は、本体を机上に上下逆さまにおけばいいのでは?いつでも電源ボタンをすぐに押し放題ですね?

🍎📢 This is not a drill - We repeat, #Apple fan boys this is not a drill ✨ magic of design 🚀🚀🚀 x.com/Merocle/status…
in the past like 20 years ive never turned off any of my computers and apple knows nobody is so what’s the fuss about
Literally never turn it off. Go turn off a light switch somewhere and you’ll be good.
I told a Japanese guy the same thing! He went out of his way to design an over-the-top 3D-printed lever to make it easier to ‘click’ the power switch. He said he uses the switch a lot, so he came up with this "solution." 😂

I am going to 3D print a little stand with a cutout to access it. I like to shut down my computer at night.
Actually isn’t this better? You allow heat to dissipate better and you can access the power button better A Win
Why hide it? I think it’s cosmetic or minimalist, perfection cause. For Mac’s usually we power on via keyboard , power off or sleep via menu bar. Important part is not to mess with the airflow so upside down is not the right way to do it. But it probably wouldn’t break.
The thermal architecture is designed based on the fact that heat rises. E.g., the power supply is placed above the CPU. If the Mac mini is upside down, then the power supply would be BELOW the CPU, and its heat would constantly rise to heat up the CPU.
