Apple's latest M4 Mac mini features a controversial design change: the power button has been relocated to the bottom of the device. This decision has sparked debate among users and tech enthusiasts.

Apple's Greg Joswiak defended this choice in a Bilibili video, describing it as the "optimal spot for a power button." However, multiple reviews, including our own, indicate that accessing the button requires lifting the entire device, and its position isn't intuitively obvious.

Joswiak justifies the design by noting that users "pretty much never use the power button on your Mac." He suggests the placement was necessary due to the device's size reduction, prioritizing compact design over easy access.

Despite the power button controversy, the M4 Mac mini's performance capabilities remain impressive for its price point, offering significant value for users who can adapt to the new button placement.
