Glad they're not just jumping in on the hype and hopefully they wait until they get it right to release. Not sure I'd get one or not but still cool to see how it goes.
This. Also I can't think of a single use case where I'd need a car to travel places, my work is only a few miles away and I can bike or walk. Please extrapolate my use case scenario to the rest of the world.
Temporal dithering (or something else I am not aware of) causes eye pain, dry eyes, watering eyes, headaches. To me it looks like the edges of letters are moving even on a stationary screen. There is to an app called Stillcolor which is supposed to fix it but I haven’t yet tried it.
The M2 air at least had no temporal dithering FWIW, there was a thread about that here on MR that I ran into a bit back, dont know about other models (though I assume the M3 air, at least the 13”, doesnt either since it’s the same display) but you may want to check that out

Maybe you're confusing temporal dithering and PWM. I think it was tested as being PWM-free, but PWM with LCD devices is anyway not too bad as the frequency tends to be > 100,000 Hz, way above the frequency for OLED devices.

"we examined the IPS panel of the Air M2 with a microscope and created a slow-motion recording with 240 images per second. While we were able to detect temporal dithering, for example, in the current MacBook Pro 16 with the Mini-LED panel in some particular gray color tones, this was neither the case in the old MacBook Air M1 nor in the new MacBook Air M2."

Interesting. I bought and returned an 13" M2 MBA early last year because it didn't work out. Not sure what the reason is. I have no issues at all with multiple Dell XPS and Latitude laptops I've had from work.
