Tim Apple: We are unique. We do in-house industrial design for all of our computers and iToys that you love. Everything is shiny and tiny, and we think you are going to love it.

User: I solved the power button problem:

I have never had a Mac where I didn't need to hold down the power button sometimes to get it to reboot or turn back on after some kind of crash.

Otherwise, this design is like the recent Apple mouse where the power cord plugs in on the bottom so you can't use the mouse while it's charging. It's not a one-off it's a whole new tradition in Apple design.
