  • 🤔 Apple has shared why the power button on the Mac Mini M4 is hidden
  • 🤏 It’s mainly because of the Mac Mini’s compact size
  • 🤷‍♂️ But also because users apparently never use the power button on a Mac
  • 👉 Apple also says the button can be accessed easily, even though it’s underneath

With current hardware the power draw at sleep is negligible, so power off doesn’t matter.

You can spin this argument both ways. And sleep is more convenient, so that’s what most people choose.

My new laptop doesn't support S3 sleep, it can drain the battery from 100% to 0% in less than 16 hours while supposedly "sleeping".

Sure. But it is not a Mac. A MacBook can be put to sleep with 100% and one week later wake up with 90% left.

Yeah my friend left his MacBook Pro at airport security and when he was reunited 3 weeks later it still had like 50% charge with him tracking it using Find My the whole time
