Now you can slam the top of the machine to boot it up

Oh an Apple thread. More people angry at something they were never going to buy anyway.

Just be thankful they didn’t put the power cord there like they did with the mouse.

Don't worry, there will be suitable USB accessories available for this.

It's a bit of a bummer given the power of the machine it would be otherwise good in IT environments. The small size would allow a rack or stack of them. This one ~~feature~~ design choice makes that not possible. It's on purpose.

okay, I was gonna say that it’s not that big of a deal because you can just slightly lift it when you want to turn it on (or just slide your finder under it, if they’re small enough) but judging by that photo, it seems like the power button is at the back of the computer? whyyyy??

anyways, im more impressed by the fact that their new shiny mouse who finally uses USB-C still has the charging port at the bottom. im starting to think they think it’s a good design???

Part of the new Apple power bottom design strategy.

Apple is finally appealing to my interests

[-] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 45 points 2 days ago

I can't wait for Apple to reveal a desk, with a keyboard built-in underneath the back side of it.

It would be an electric standig desk as well, battery powered obviously, and you would need to flip the table top 90 degrees up sideways to recharge the battery every other month.

Yes, and if you complain to much they’ll put the power input on the bottom too next year.

After seeing the mouse with ports on the bottom. I'm convinced that there's a disgruntled designer on their team and this is a cry for help.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 17 points 1 day ago

What is the <--> port for? HTML? I thought that was port 80 or 443...

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

It's an Ethernet port. For some reason Apple decided <···> is the glyph to use for that.

Apple is powered by the copium of their fanbase, so maybe the next model won't even need a power cable.

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

It'll still NEED a power cable, it just won't COME with one.

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 20 points 1 day ago

YOU won't need one because you'll already HAVE one from the last Mac Mini you bought last year.
