I'm currently sitting at my notchless-MBP noting how there is not a single thing in the middle of my menu bar and there never has been. I can't think of a single reason I wouldn't want a notch in exchange for smaller bezels. Especially given the aspect ratio of a Mac is taller such that it doesn't interrupt typical video or photo content
Somehow Dell XPS can do thin bezels without having to resort to a notch.
My XPS (not a brand new one, not sure if this has changed) has a really weird webcam location to get the thin bezel, it's right next to they keyboard
There are always tradeoffs, and I find the notch to be a trade-off with no real loss. Especially on a Mac where the hardware/software integration is tight enough that the notch never poses an issue. I could see a notch on a windows/linux laptop being a more significant problem given that the OS may not be designed to work around the notch so seamlessly
I had a 9360 which had a “nose cam”, but two iterations later they did it right. 16:10 display, camera in the right place, ultra thin bezels and no notch.
I also need to mention that this thing is light. Lighter than an iPad pro, lighter than any MBAir.
(But I’m still getting the MBAir, because it’s fanless. Fanless still beats no notch.)
