yeah prob no notch, and for sure no notch on the laptop. like i understand the notch on the iphone. but why the fuck does a laptop that doesn't even have FaceID need a notch?

    I still suspect Apple had plans made for adding FaceID to the MacBook Pro redesign but they couldn’t work out the sensors in time, but the design was already done. Then the notch has already become a design element so now they’re stuck adding it to all new laptops to maintain software parity between models.

    Have you used MacOS? Notch is perfect way to add extra space for this OS. You have all options and system icons tucked nicely on its sides and space below is your actual screen that is perfect rectangle.

    Way more useful notch and space it frees than touchbar ever was

    It's still goofy as hell, though. The notch is there purely to distinguish it from other products. The bezels are more than large enough to fit a webcam. Other manufacturers have even smaller bezels and still manage to fit everything in.

    Dunno, the iPhone notch looked fine to me, but the MacBook one is still silly to me. Maybe something with the sharp corner radius or how large the bezels still are with it in.
