The smaller mini loses some ports but gets tons of other functional updates.

    Well, it would be

    • more confusing if they shaped it like an iPhone,
    • more unstable if they shaped it like the magic mouse with the power port at the bottom,
    • super cute if they kept the exact mac pro tower design but super smol,
    • actually useful as a vase of they used that cylinder mac pro design from 10 years ago

    Mac Mini’s are cool, and I appreciate that Apple has some of the most experienced and talented designers in the world… But they put the power switch on the bottom. You have to lift it up and turn it over to turn it on and off.

      The side with the power button is now the top. There is no ports or io on the bottom.
