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.

The power button thing doesn’t matter. It’s not a PC, you never turn it off.

I love mine. Exactly the solution I was looking for. I was going to get a Mac Studio but it was too expensive and this meets all of my needs for a work desktop.

Mac Studio resale prices around here are just tanking right now.

It's not a personal computer? That's what the PC acronym means. You make no sense. Please elaborate.

I don't know why you allow Apple corporate marketing to ~~fucking dominate~~ poison your ~~pathetic~~ intelligent mind with the idea of what the definition of the acronym is supposed to be, because Wikipedia includes Apple/Macintosh systems in its definition.
