Do you own a device that has FaceID???
The unlocking angles on my phone 12 are insane and quick.
On a computer you usually press the "ENTER" key for positive acknowledgment....
Got a tip for us?

FaceID is a million times better than TouchID. There is no thought or movement put into the authentication. You open the lid, and you're in. I really hope it makes it into the next refresh.
Can’t say I’ve ever experienced that on any black anodized Apple product.
Dell has terrible cameras, the sensor is very small. Apple went for a larger sensor to get actual decent webcam quality.
It's like saying that Fiat Multipla is iconic too. It's just not for any good reason ?
I like the new Surface Laptop Studio too. If I’m crazy enough I’ll buy both..
The notch is there because Apple wanted to make a statement about the rumor that the next iPhone will go with a punch hole camera.
I've seen it all over black Iphone 7's and edges of the aluminum iphones with glass backs.
I liked it until I saw how horrible the battery life actually is. My SO is going back to school and I was going to get her one to fill the tablet/laptop role.
That and they didn’t even hold out until Alder Lake released or go with Ryzen 5000, instead they stuck a crappy 11th Gen quad core in it.
Only Dell can apparently make an almost edge-to-edge screen. And what's with the chin?
I'd like to think it's intelligent. That if you aren't in a state where TouchID is expected, it doesn't need to light. In the video, the system hasn't even been set up yet, so there would be no ability to use it. I'd think that if you're logged in (not locked) and not at a security prompt where it's expecting input, that it wouldn't light up.
At least, that's my hope.

Apple iPhone 5 aluminum shell plagued by chipping issues
Buyers are reporting dents along the chamfered edges on their brand new black iPhone 5. It seems to have become a routine now. Every year Apple releases a...
Haha yea I just grabbed it off google images. Honestly though, yes it is bad, and yes even on the lowest brightness setting.
However I agree that’s it’s worth the trade-off and I’m still very happy with it overall.
However I feel like it will be a much larger problem for a pro device. I feel like the bloom will make it very difficult to accurately edit photos or film since you won’t have a good sense of what your footage actually looks like.
The blooming is also way, WAY worse with a cursor, as the cursor will always cause the zones around it to light up. When using touch input, it’s much less noticeable on the iPad than when using the trackpad.
I also feel like people will be less accepting of this screen on a 2000+ dollar pro work machine as opposed to an iPad Pro, which let’s be honest, will be a general purpose + a lot of media consumption device for most people.

Every time I remove one of those plastic cases, the computer is scratched to heck from debris rubbing in between the plastic and the computer chassis, and typically the computer is quite nasty, like a horders house.
*It's my job. People, please clean your own computers! Second note, public teachers seem to be the worst at cleanliness.
And yes, I will skip as again no touch screen, and the bloom will be horrendous.
Oh, AND IT HAS MORE PORTS.....such sheep. You still need a ****ing dongle for USB-A! And no micro SD card slot...so for me....it adds nothing especially w/o HDMI 2.1

I actually like that idea... it would start to glow when authentication is required. I hope that is the case!
I have the 16 and would like something much more portable, hence going for 14.
depends what your use case is - if mostly desk and no external monitor I would always go 16.
I have to be honest, the old Macbook on the right looks a lot nicer as an object. Hopefully the new one is more enjoyable to use. The height of the screen is kind of this weird no-man's-land which is reminiscent but not quite the 3:2 ratio of the Surface Book.
Looking forward to Tuesday when mine arrives!

Yeah that’s what I meant, they replaced the Touch Bar but the touchbar was still not as tall as the function keys though. But yeah like you said the enclosure size has increased so they were able to accommodate the old trackpad ig.
I was excited when space gray was offered for MBPs and got one in 2016. A weird set of events happened and I ended up with a silver 2016 about 4 months later. It’s been all silver since.
Finding matching aluminum gear in general is easier and I already had years of aluminum gear anyway.
I’m just staying with silver.
Now just imagine how nice it would look without the notch. I mean, yeah, it’s nice, but it could be so much more.
No doubt, if I could even run x64 Windows in a VM I'd be jumping all over these new laptops. For now my 16" Intel is still awesome.
