An apologist’s take on a poor design decision.

Even if you don’t need to use the power button very often, when you DO need it, it shouldn’t require hunting for it or using kludges like that 3D printed power button pusher.

Cool idea, although It would be better if it were a fixed base with some sort of shallow dent the mini would sit in.
You could move it around without having to realign the restart lever and the power Button.

So what are the speed differences between the 16” MacBook Pro with M3 Max and M4 Max?

Hmmmm, this could be an interesting alternative to an Apple TV 4K and double as a media hub.
I could ditch my Synology NAS and plug a RAID into the Mac mini instead.

Most of the video streaming I do can be done with Safari.
I'll often plug my Mac into my big TV to have photo "slide" shows, because I don't use iCloud for photos (or music or much of anything).

Tempting!

I always liked the iMac G4. Cool design and fun to work with.
The half-dome body was kind of limiting, but visually striking.

Today, nobody wants a 17” screen. 24” is kind of a minimum, but that’s for a computer.
 A “smart device” is a different critter altogether. Why not improve iPhone and iPad apps, instead?

I’m not a fan of talking to my devices, except for shouting at my Mac when it misbehaves. 😛
I never use Siri, but I’m probably in the minority.
