Soon to be announced, the new MacBook Pro roller bag (I know somebody already made this joke, but mine is funnier).

I would give my left kidney for 15/16" Macbook Air

Seriously. Now more than ever, there is a low-power big-screen hole in Apple's lineup. Give me an M1, magsafe, and 15 or 16" screen and I'll buy it at MSRP yesterday.

Went to Apple dealership to buy it. I didn't. It's so ugly - I just can't.

It’s a Mac Pro case I would say.

Personally I would like to have the menu bar always active, also in full-screen mode. Is that an option maybe?

And if can anyone answer this, while using Safari, do you have to employ dark mode or do you only need a black wallpaper to hide the notch? Or is there a separate process in System Preferences that allows you to turn the menu bar black to hide the notch?

Hands-on: 'Top Notch' hides the new MacBook Pro's notch, if that's what you want - 9to5Mac

In line with the first 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro pre-orders arriving this week, third-party apps are already emerging to...

Sure no problem. Here are a couple pics.

Definitely looking forward to using this laptop and comparing it with my old 2019 MBP. Still updating software and getting the basics installed . ?

Oof. Chonky. Even not taken at a proper right angle that photo shows some serious Thicc going on. It's sexy but I'll stick with my MBA.

Trust me the thickness is really not a problem. The weight it definitely is. I can't imagine anyone carrying this around an office or so

Nobody complaining about the keyboard? The keys are ok, but come on, why on Gods green earth would you make the area surrounding the black keys black? In a dimly lit room, you only see the lit up text.
If the backlight times out, you're really just making a stab in the dark to hit a key. Not great if you want to quickly hit mute, there's no way to hit the right key at first try.

Any fan noise that you've noticed so far? That's the problem with my 2019 16". If I do a Quicktime screen recording, the fan kicks on and gets into my microphone.

My thick boi 14" Pro just arrived, first thing I did was fired up some HDR video and the display is amazing. Really happy with the size as well, it's just a little bigger than my old 13" M1 Air. The keyboard is very nice and already don't notice the notch.

Time to put it through it's paces some more in the coming days!

I have not managed to do anything that gets the fan going to an audible level yet, I will keep trying!

Personally I like it more visually but you are right it is less functional
