Under table mount.

I still have an M1 mini 8gb RAM 256gb SSD. I was deciding weather to get an M4. Tradein is only 230 dollars USA. And the price match up to 10% but no Costco or Amazon.

One thing I did not like was the power button on the bottom. Weird place to put it. But mounts are finally popping up like this under desk one.

Now I like the placement of the button on the bottom. Makes it it easier than reaching in the back of the mini.

And I like this too.

Keep it on it side and easily turn it on.

Or this is another option.

This is good too. Raises the mini a little and hides to small external hdds in the back.

Or this is good too adds a little pullout drawer in the back but a little pricey.

These are some great ideas. I'm a desk top person so a stand that holds the M4 on its side is what I would get. Good cooling and access to the power button.

Be thinking about a dust filter for that Mini.

I 3D printed a button for mine, so it's on top. But then decided to mount it under the desk so.... if anyone needs a button, I'll ship it to you for the cost of postage

The only problem with the button is then the mini is uneven on the other 3 sides.

Or here is another idea.

Mac mini M4 power button base by gijsmans

Simple base for the Mac mini M4. It turns the mini in a big power button. Just push the top to turn the mini on.Feel free whatever you do with it, it's very simple.If you want to support ideas like this, take a look at my Rename app at the Mac App...

Add "Rubber feet" to the other three.

Or can the mini be left permanently upside down? Will it hurt if it runs upside down?

This looks cute too.
