Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location
webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 4 months agoYou can accurately preach best usecases all you want it falls flat before peopled experience.
I always shutdown my desktop. So did i with all my previous desktops.
Ive always shut down every windows/linux laptop i ever had.
I shut down my android tablet after use.
I owned and used a MacBook for 3 years, i never shut it down, i never shutdown my iPhone.
Apple did not tell me to do this, no one told me to change what i am used to. It just somehow made the most sense so thats how i used it. And i reverted naturally when i ent back to non apple desktops. I cant explain it better then that.
This does not excuse having a power button on the bottom, thats just ridiculous. Just a hint that what your saying about downsides is irrelevant to how people realistically use it.

I recognize this may be a very autistic answer (i am)
The function of a button is to be pressed, to put functionality on the bottom of a stationary device feels incredibly wrong. Thats really all there is to it.
I can forgive a reset button being on the bottom because ideally they aren’t ever pressed and you definitely don’t want them accidentally pressed. I recognize that for macos a restart is alles always a troubleshooting step and i would be probably be fine with it if it was renamed with an explanation on its actual usecase scenario.
In any regards i feel like i makes much more sense on the back where the cables go in.
I have nothing against apple besides the general capitalist/consumerism stuff. I hate google and meta much more.
