The previous model has it in the back, you can’t even feel it properly because it’s not recessed.

On the other hand the last time I turned off my M1 mini was when we moved. It’s 100% silent and takes less power than a lightbulb when it sleeps, so why would I bother powering it off.

So while it sleeps, it still wastes electricity on literally nothing. Gotcha

So does anyone's desktop PC that they're too lazy to power off and I can guarantee those will waste even more.

Why would you run a lightbulb 24/7?

A prior model Mac Mini uses 7W at idle.
