After being asked about the design choice for the Mac mini, the Apple executives explained that it was the "optimal spot" for the power button due to the redesign. According to Apple, the new location is not inconvenient. Users can just tuck their finger underneath the computer and press the power button.

The Thunderbolt 5 specification has been around for a year at this point, but the Mac Mini is one of only a handful of computers to use the new ports with support bi-directional data transfer speeds up to 80 Gbps or asymmetrical speeds up to 120 Gbps for video output.

There is one aspect of the Apple M4 Mac Mini that is being widely talked about in the industry and it is the placement of the power button.
