I love the idea of it, and I love how tiny it is. Will probably get one when money isn’t so tight.

But I was curious if the power button was accessible without lifting it. And it genuinely isn’t. Why does Apple like shoving important IO and buttons underneath the device. Good thing it’s light?

Oh and a funny thing was the staff had to loosen its mount on the table so you could turn it on.

I’m certainly not, but having seen claims you can replace the SSD with a bigger one, I can imagine a lot of people might try it…

Yeah but doesn't adding the extra flex cable to make it more frustrating to disassemble seem like just the sort of thing Apple would do to discourage user modifications? Apple doesn't like the kind of users who know how to tinker with and upgrade computers
