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've been using Intel NUCs for years now. So can confirm the form factor is excellent. Combine that with every port imaginable, the NUC has been impressive. Will be interesting to see how the mac compares. Especially if I can put Linux on it.
The Mac Mini has been around for like a decade.
About 20 years roughly. My mate had one for his TV a long time ago.
Oh wow, I didn’t remember them being that old.
Asahi Linux works but I am not sure about the new m4s
Linux on a Mac? Linux on a proprietary processor with no documentation? Linux on a system that only supports MacOS?
Yup. Put Linux on my old macbook pro.
Breathed a new lease of life into it, when Apple stopped supporting it. Got another 4 + years of good computing out of it, before I accidentally left it at a carpark and lost it.
Linux on that mac was excellent. I prefer the gnome UI to mac and Windows, so was happy.
Intel?
