First Real-World Photos and Video of New MacBook Pro Models Begin to Surface

The new MacBook Pro bezel looks pretty nice but it not a bezel less like some high end laptops in the marketplace! Notch does not bother me!

I have an xps. Webcam that low is a big compromise. I personally would rather have a notch. Both are compromises, i prefer the compromise that maximizes performance

I personally would opt to buy a dedicated webcam than having a notch on my laptop as it's not a device I only use for video calls.

You need a certain amount of space for the hinge and the cabling that connects the screen to the video card. That connection needs space to flex and you don’t want it to crimp. Also, it’s not an ergonomic benefit to have the screen any lower than it needs to be. Tilting your head down more is not better. It’s not a big difference but any amount of extra tilt is a negative.

That’s why the magic keyboard is so nice, holds the display up and towards you.

Apple should replicate that design for the new MacBook Air. All the tech in the screen like the iPad with a permanent magic keyboard and macOS rather than iPadOS. Only problem is balance so the screen needs to be as light as possible.

Could be a limitation of the Mini-LED panel. Does PCs with Mini LED panels have small bezels?

I think that notch is about 4" too high.

Didn’t realize it’s suppose to be on his head lol that just looked weird.

it looks so much worse than i thought possible

Just take a look at these gaps. I really hope this is just a defective unit.

Yeah I saw that too. Doesn't look so good.

GAP GATE!

Really starting to worry about how thick these beasts are going to be.

You know the 14" model is actually 0.1 mm thinner than the old 13" MBP.

All black keyboard is the cheapest way to do a key board

How so?

 

[827538]

Why do people keep worrying about that. The 16” MBP is 0.6mm thicker. That’s about 5 sheets of paper. Unless you have micrometers for hands, you likely won’t notice.

And the 14" is actually 0.1mm thinner.

Was that bottom chin necessary?

And with a potato quality 720p webcam that looks hardly better than a upscaled 480p. I think I'll take the notch over that.

 

[WiseAJ]

Double anodised with a darker finish. I don’t really like, but this is what we’ve got for the next cycle so ?‍♂️

I wish the whole MacBook was that dark of a finish and not just the keyboard area. The Space Grey has always been too light in my opinion.

Why is this the case? It's not like it's a separate piece, just doubled anodized for color in the keyboard well. If anything, it should be more expensive to make.

 

[justperry]

Is the 14” closer to the old 13” or the 15”?
I currently have a 15” 2013 mbp Which is the perfect size for me and Im not sure if I should go for the new 14 or 16”?

Percentage-wise it's closer to the 13".

Not a snarky question: how did Dell get such a thin bezel and fit their camera without a notch? I might be missing something wrt hardware but, it seems like Apple should be able to pull this off too. I don’t follow Dell, so maybe someone on this thread knows the answer.

I had the same thought. Maybe because they are using pretty low quality cameras (720p 30fps) from what I've seen? The OLED display on those XPS laptops is something else though.

Personally I'm in the camp of the notch is only occupying unused space and doesn't impact the 16:10 ratio, so I don't care, I'd rather have a really good quality camera. But the Dell XPS line does look great. Swings and roundabouts really, what do you value most, camera quality or lack of notch?

 

[greenmeanie]

I wish they would offer a model without camera I never use it anyways.

Super cool Sysmet. calm down It's not a gap or defect, just look closely and you will notice that it's because the white display paper cover is not there and that's why it appears darker

 

[vir]

Just remove the camera.

 

[asdex]

It‘s just an optical illusion due to the paperlike screen wrapper sticking out a bit.

Tim Cook interview:

"Our philosophy here at Apple... is that no one person and not one thing in this world is perfect. But that's what makes us unique and beautiful! Just like our products!"

The keyboard makes it look like an HP

The keyboard does but bet you HP doesn’t have a notch. How much you want to bet now every laptop maker out there will be introducing with a notch :/
