The power button thing doesn’t matter. It’s not a PC, you never turn it off.
I love mine. Exactly the solution I was looking for. I was going to get a Mac Studio but it was too expensive and this meets all of my needs for a work desktop.
Mac Studio resale prices around here are just tanking right now.
The second one is the relevant one. You have to allow the computer to sleep when the display is off or it will still stay awake and drawing power when the display is off.
It’s meant for laptops you want to run in a closed position with an external display when plugged in.
A friend had this and it was because he had his display set to sleep never. So it was essentially on all the time.
Make sure that prevent computer from sleeping when display is off is also disabled.
I like Apple products because I have to deal with PC crap at work a lot of the time and I want my phone to work without ever having to spend any time at all on it.

There’s no need to clutter up a system registry with individual app settings.
