No. You start it by reaching in the back and pressing the power button, just like all previous Mac minis.

Connect Mac Mini M4 with Ipad Hello everyone, I have a Macbook Pro that is becoming too old. As an alternative, i would like to connect a New Mac Mini M4 with an Ipad and use the Ipad as Main Display, Keyboard and Mouse. Reason for that is that the Mac Mini would be my main station when i play live gigs, but i don't want to have Keyboard and mouse (and there is no integrated keyboard/touchpad available in the market). Of course main alternative is a new MacBook... but i'd like to check if the option Mini+Ipad is viable before bying the whole kit. Thanks for your help AM

Thanks for the information. It's too bad since I thought older Macs could be turned on by pressing the media eject button on a keyboard that had one.
