Whilst Apple is known for its design nous, the company does occasionally drop a clanger. The most infamous example is the Magic Mouse 2 with its charging port on the bottom – a design crime that the company still refuses to atone for. In a somewhat similar fashion, Apple had added the M4 Mac mini's power button to the bottom of the device. And now, it's defended the decision.

In and amongst the various details about the new M4 Mac mini, announced by Apple this month, is the fact that the Power button is located on the bottom of the device. The device, yes, that sits on a desk. It's a good job that this is the smallest and lightest Mac mini ever, because if you want to turn it on or off, you're going to have to pick it up.
