Yes, it's not the prettiest of things, but having to reach around the back each time is terribly impractical - the same issue we found with the iMac 5K. Of course that leads to some impracticality, especially if you're prone to using the SD card port.
The rear panel houses all the connections and ports, the aim being that you have this minimalist box on show and the wiring out of sight to the back. The aluminium enclosure measures 197mm square and is 36mm tall. The current Mac mini design was introduced in 2010 and the only change from that earlier model has been in the connectivity on the rear in the latest device, along with the loss of access to the internals through a bottom panel.

With the increasing sophistication of Apple TV or simplicity of Chromecast, those days of needing a computer to access online TV services are behind us, but if it's the lounge you're targeting, the Mac mini's design is certainly fetching. There was a time when we considered the Mac mini a great choice as a home entertainment computer, to sit in your lounge. We've long been fans of the Magic Trackpad (excusing the name) because it replicates the silky interaction experience of the MacBook. If there's one thing we'd advise, it's that you use the Apple Wireless Keyboard and either the Magic Trackpad or Magic Mouse. You might be ditching an existing Windows tower, or repurposing an existing display, like a TV. If you're switching from an existing desktop PC, then it means you can pretty much plug right in. That's what's behind the affordability, because the idea is that you hook it up to your existing monitor and use existing accessories. In the box you get the elegant aluminium square unit along with a power cable and nothing else. The Mac mini is a small format desktop PC. But has Apple torpedoed the mini back to standard in 2014? An easy choice for Windows migrants Some think that the Mac mini has now outlived its usefulness - it garnered little more than a passing reference at Apple's recent special event - but we still think that Mac mini has plenty of appeal. The humble Mac mini is the cheapest price point you can enter the Apple computer world, starting at just £399, beating the next in line - the MacBook Air 11-inch - by a healthy £350.

On the portable front, the MacBook Air remains one of the most lauded laptops designs around, while the MacBook Pro sits as the workhorse for many creative types.
The iMac cuts its desktop swathe with luscious design and, recently, that 5K resolution panel has made it the all-in-one to beat. (Pocket-lint) - The Mac mini is perhaps the least celebrated of the Apple Mac family.
