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.

Remember these are the same engineers who put the Magic Mouse charging port on the bottom, making the mouse unusable while you charge it
