    Optional $200 dock with satisfyingly clicky lever mechanism that is activated from the front.

    They clearly want you to let this one running 24/7, or, can you turn it on using the keyboard and that low power BT thing?

    As long as your default mode is sleep it’d be ok. I touch my PCs power button only when it crashes so horribly that a forced shutdown is the only way out…

    It’s a bit of a bummer given the power of the machine it would be otherwise good in IT environments. The small size would allow a rack or stack of them. This one feature design choice makes that not possible. It’s on purpose.

    Apple insider are already framing this as not a design flaw but an advantage somehow

    excellent marketing strategy to get us talking about their stuff that would otherwise get almost completely under our radar.

    i mean fuck where the power button of a product ill probably never need is.

    Oh an Apple thread. More people angry at something they were never going to buy anyway.

      if it didn’t make us angry, and INFLUENCE OTHER BUSINESSES TO DO THE SAME REPUGNANT SHIT, we’d be buying it.

        Excuse me. Some of us do buy Apple products. And there’s nothing that comes close to the bargain price of the base model, so we laugh at it while buying it too.

      I guess I’ll be the exception as someone who does have a macmini because it is the best priced mini pc that can’t be beat, and will likely get the base model for this too for the same reason.

      But I still would prefer a power button in the front.

      Gotta get the Apple haters to be their #1 advertisers for free.

      Keep it up people. Apple did almost nothing to advertise this computer. You’re the advertisement.
