Look at those clothes, Romulans have no sense of fashion, so there's no way them saying they approve of something visual is worth listening to!
Unless you need to use it while it's charging, then it's useless, and you have to dig out a cabled mouse. Then you go buy a BT mouse that can be used while charging. Not being able to use it while charging seems like a design flaw to me.
I still have my 27" 5K iMac, but I did get rid of my MacBook Pro. I picked up an Acer Swift 7 (2019) and it is unbelievable for what I use it for. It is the thinnest, lightest, 14" laptop on the planet still to this day. And it has a 92% screen to body ratio with no notch. I upgraded it to Windows 11 on day one and haven't had any issues. I do prefer MacOS over Windows if I had to pick one but I do not like the direction Apple is going in right now. That 3080Ti is a beast by the way!!
I agree with you 100%. Other than the charging issue, I have zero complaints. I have to believe there is a way to keep the minimalist design of the MM while still allowing it to be charged while in use.
The battery part is definitely fake, the 16” MacBook already has the biggest battery allowed on a plane.
There was value to the notch because it would have been confusing to lose the home button and not give other visual cues to the user. The notch replaced the home button and helped introduces location based gestures.
All your issues seem to be due to you forcing the device to adapt instead of adapting to the needs of the device. It works fine if you stop trying to change everything.
That’s my point. They removed the home button.
The classic Steve Jobs days. I miss those times
So, based on this, had apple gone under the screen camera, where would the “visual cue” be? iPad Pro doesn’t have such visual cue like a notch, yet we don’t see hundreds of people complaining the lack of the notch, but wonder why MacBook can’t do the same just like iPad Pro.
I suspect the need for a visual cue is reduced because the width of the display decreases confusion about left and right gestures.

After all, one can already see patents from Apple that deal with exactly this topic. A lot of technology will still have to be developed before it can be built into our Macs.
It takes two minutes of charging to get nine hours of use and two hours of charging will get you a month. At some point you will stop working… charge it then.
If you make the entire background black it is easier to see the icons and widgets while increasing battery life.
Because the notch can bring usability issues with the menu-bar, and Apple hasn’t been on top of their usability game lately.
Yes, that's the compromise. Personally, I rarely work in full screen even in the creative field, I know PC users do it exclusively.
But iPhone shares the same shape as iPad yet iPhone somehow need a notch, now MacBook Pro, but magically not iPad Pro. Plus, camera is protruding, so touching camera while holding means you hold it upside down.
I’d argue they never care. It’s always apple way or no way. User experience worth nothing to them.
I never liked the home button either, but it wasn't annoying. I really don't think the notch is as much a visual cue as you think especially for those like myself that can't stand it. I can't think of anything I did by looking at the notch on my old iPhone.
