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.
In case it wasn't a joke, I imagine it would be high enough for your finger to just poke under it to push the button, like you would a monitor with buttons on the bottom of the screen.
Doesn't look like it is.
You're using it wrong: Just place the whole computer upside down on your desk.
A reporter at the Verge just had a hands on with it and confirmed that you do, unfortunately, have to lift it up.
Apple reported to say that you don't need to use the power button because Mac Mini is not required to shut off.
