Still a power bottom.

Apple made the slightly controversial decision to put the power button on the bottom of the M4 Mac Mini, and that’s still the case on the newly announced M6 and M5 Pro models.

If you find that irksome, a workaround on macOS 26.5 and later is to set your Mac to always automatically turn on when it receives power — handy after a power outage.
