Used to be back in the day power and reset were very much needed, to the point that I wished they were on my keyboard.
Now, almost never need them.
I almost never use it either, but I don't see how that comparison is relevant. That's a portable computer with a battery. I always turn off my desktop computer at the end of the day.
The last time I turned on my M1 Mini was when we moved. The previous time was when my desktop UPS kicked the bucket and I had to swap a new one.
It sleeps in a low-power mode and is 100% silent, why would I bother turning it off and waiting for everything to boot up every morning?
Because I don't have an UPS. If the power goes down, the desktop computer crashes and there could be file corruption.
