Okay genuine question to Apple fans

I see the meme going around about the new Mac Mini power button, and I'm torn on my take

Because I literally cannot tell from any of the promo photography as to how tall the base part is -- and others seem to presume they know, but the shots they have I don't think they do

Are we sure it's not possible to fit one finger under the corner without picking up the whole computer? If so, then my take is "this is just their continuance of design principles, wev"

By the way, if you want to see a truly shit power button design? That'd be the Dell PowerEdge R350

Take a look at the first pic, which I've photoshopped to be what the computer looks like when it's turned off -- so no lights except one when the power supplies are active

Without looking at the 2nd image, try finding the power button in less than 10 seconds. Go on, I'll wait ⏱️

Now imagine doing that with a mix of Dell hardware in a lab where the racks cast a lot of shadows
