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.
i got one for work and honestly the power button isn't a big deal since the machine usually stays on in sleep mode when i don't need it. an occasional restart does the trick if the system ever feels sluggish but that hasn't happened yet.
once you know where it is, it's easy to instinctively press. there are also 3d printed gizmos that can help if you really prefer a more accessible button:
