Apple's Quirky Design : New Mac Mini Features a Power Button Underneath

Ever wondered why the new Mac Mini is so compact? Turns out, it's designed for you to lift it to power on!

Apple's latest Mac Mini has undergone a significant design overhaul from its flat, TV-box-like predecessor. The new model adopts a more cubic form, measuring 5 inches on all sides.

What's raising eyebrows is the relocation of the power button to the bottom of the device. So, if you're looking to turn on your Mac Mini, you'll need to pick it up to access the button.

This unconventional design choice has left many puzzled. It's unclear whether Apple intends for users to keep their devices on permanently, relying on sleep mode and a quick mouse click to wake the screen.

Speaking of mice, Apple's recent switch from the Lightning to a USB-C charging port for its mouse - which, ironically, is also located at the bottom - makes the Mac Mini's design seem a bit more consistent, albeit similarly unconventional.
