In fact, here are all of the best laptops that support Windows Hello facial recognition. Take a look at their bezels:

That took me a sec to see it ?
Using my amazing and magical powers of deduction, do your credit card numbers mainly consist of the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5?! ?
I'm looking forward to the notch simulator. I don't want my friends and colleagues who have notched MBPs to see my non-notched MBP and think lesser of me. Letting other people think that I have the latest Apple gear helps me with my self-worth... and save money in the process. Until then, I have a carefully cut piece of black electrical tape covering where the notch would be. It fools people from a distance.
Except, you know, the huge and growing number of people who have video meetings for work every day.
Or people like me who have family overseas and enjoy video chatting with them in high quality.
So, sure, no one.
Well it doesn't offer facial recognition with Windows Hello either. It's fingerprint only.
It's actually the exact opposite of the Touch Bar. The touch bar removed functionality to provide its gimmick and tried to look cool. The notch added functionality despite how it looks and has no down side OTHER than how it looks.
Touch Bar is useless and therefore, they removed it. Notch isn't different from that and it proves that Apple lacks technology just like iPhone.
The touch bar had a use, it sacrificed functionality for it however. The notch literally adds space to the screen beyond what it had before. Who has this magical technology that you're referring to that can put a 1080p webcam in a slim bezel?
Apple seems to have forgotten it built a notch in the MacBook Pro
Parts of macOS simply forget the notch exists.

You know, others already put 1080P webcam in a slim bazel.

Oh noes... I think the image you posted looks awesome. Rounded corners and all. But then again, I always use "reduce transparency" so my wallpaper never shows thru the menubar.
A smart way for the half of the Apple community to bypass 'the smart way'.
In the past Apple has wisely avoided dividing its community like this.

I thought I was having a bad week not being able to get the Apple smudge-cleaning cloth on release day, and now Notchgate.
These are dark times.

This actually looks so sleek! Reminds me of the first iPhone with non-changeable black wallpaper that made the icons look like they were floating on glass. I used to love that design feature. In fact now I'm going to try one of these apps on my 27" imac
Question. Xcode is my most used app by some distance. On my 2014 MBP the default menu options extend well into the right hand side of the screen.
I never have it in full screen mode as I find it much easier to flip between Xcode and the other apps I need while developing (Safari, Simulator, Terminal etc) in standard mode.
What happens to the Xcode menu with these "fixer" apps? Would there now be a large notch sized gap between two of the menus?

Only thing worse than people complaining about the notch is the people defending it like it's their first born. Get a grip, folks.
