I saw the New Mac Mini on display
(programming.dev)
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.
As a repair tech I think the Mini is one of the most reliable computers made. A few models were underpowered if people bought low end versions, especially the 2014's with 4GB memory and laptop hdds.
I think you just described my Mac mini, that's around when I bought it. I can't remember specifically what issues I had besides speed but it seems like it was issues booting and sleep mode having trouble
Yeah that was a lemon. New one seems good though.
Interesting to note. Unfortunately for apple I decided that going back to building my own desktops is far superior, especially these days. Hardware seems to have gotten really easy to deal with and more reliable than ever before. Honestly I think a big part of the issues I had previously with built PCs was ASUS's fault.
And Linux is freaking outstanding now. So I don't have to deal with windows either :)
