Comment on Apple Explains Why 256GB Storage Is Better
leisesprecher@feddit.org 1 day agoMost people don’t shut down their Macs that often, the fingerprint sensor on the keyboard acts as a power button 99% of the time.
Stupid decision, but almost inconsequential in real life.
This was my thought too. It’s not like the computer is super heavy and large. It’s also meant to sit on your desk. This seems like a perfectly fine design decision.
The charger on the bottom of the mouse is incredibly stupid. You can’t use it while charging.
I wouldn’t call it perfectly fine. It’s a bad decision made for the wrong reasons, but it’s also not a disaster.
It’s like coke in a mug. Weird, not ideal, but serviceable.

It’s still silly that they did not just put the button on the back like their previous mac minis. Also, someone using an non-apple keyboard might be using the button more often, which seems plausible given that the keyboard is a separate purchase starting at $99.

And that’s the small keyboard, too. An extended keyboard, with a number pad and the extra cursor movement keys, is $129.
