This is ridiclous
Optional $200 dock with satisfyingly clicky lever mechanism that is activated from the front.
Just put it on its side.
The electrons would flow in the wrong direction.
Warranty voided.
Steve Jobs roided
Tried to order pizza but it got Noided
Just be thankful they didn’t put the power cord there like they did with the mouse.
Imagine! a computer that you can’t use while it’s plugged in.
I think they call that Windows.
They wanted to put it inside the unit originally
That’s why they put the screen.
I… uh… I know it’s going to be an unpopular opinion, but it makes sense. It’s not intended for daily usage - macs wake up on a keyboard or cursor movement. Sitting on the back increases the chance of accidental presses when you are trying to plug something in.
You have a very few specific incidents where you would need to press the power button. 80% of their user base will not use the power button after the first initial press.
Standby pointlessly draws power. I switch off all devices that don’t run on battery for that reason. But I’m not exactly Apple’s target audience anyway since I also consider the price before buying stuff.
They are doing the Nike mistake - they are targeting users that have already purchased a Mac. Data-driven decisions are great, but this would just result in alienating people who are not already customers, or chase people out who are unhappy with this decision, so their next purchase will not be a Mac.
These machines draw 1 watt in sleep. There’s no need to turn them off.
You’re probably using more power shutting down your PC every day than if you just put it in sleep. A minute of chugging away booting and loading all your junk at 100 watts vs 1 watt, and no waiting.
Assuming you mount it on the back of something that would probably be a pretty good place.
I use a lot of mini Linux computers and mount them to the back of monitors. I could see this design being perfect for that except it’s way more expensive lol
Hahaha I thought this was the onion and the button was the big fugly thing that covers the whole bottom
Guess the Magic Mouse design team was getting bored
Asahi Linux 👀
?
Part of the new Apple power bottom design strategy.
Apple is finally appealing to my interests
Hello.
This is fake right
Oh an Apple thread. More people angry at something they were never going to buy anyway.
How is this newsworthy… smh
This is more like a “power button” in that case lol
Now you can slam the top of the machine to boot it up
On the bottom, in the back…
