Hopefully these rumors about thinner bezels are true, be nice if apple made the bezels as thin as the DELL laptops.

Top and bottom bezels need to be a lot thinner, hopefully they go a bit thinner on the side bezels as well.

 

[Serban55]

the 16" is good enough for the bezels...the top needs some height room for the 1080p webcam
The side bezels are perfect for the proportions of the device
The 14" needs the same treatment as this one

If I'm going to drop $3,500, I'm expecting Dell XPS bezels.

 

[LFC2020]

Going to be a massive jump in screen real estate for people upgrading from a 13" model to a 16" model.

WOW WEE!!! 😳😍

My wallet is ready apple if you play your cards right come event time. 😁

No, no Dell Xps bezels . Dont have high hopes for that...in fact i dont like my Xps 15" bezels, when too thin is too thin

 

[Serban55]

The 16" looks even more impressive than Dell xps 15...the proportions are perfect
The surface laptop studio has bigger bezels than the 16" and looks very good because the balance between base and display/lid its just right

Guess we'll see what Tim Cook design team has been cooking up in 5 days time. 😁

I’m expecting bezels and a shape similar to the iPad all the way around the screen, maybe even rounded corners, which leaves ample room for cameras, sensors, etc.

 

[PeterJP]

I'm currently thinking, if the "top base model" 14" has 16/1TB, then I'll just go for that. It should cost half of what my current 16" cost me, and it'll be much more powerful and quiet.

Jony, please no 😳 he was obsessed with making everything paper thin, which led to faulty keyboards and crap battery life. 😳

Also expecting rounded corners, most of the UI in macOS is rounded, if we don’t get thinner bezels I’m out.

This is apple we’re talking about lol, I can guarantee you we won’t be getting 1TB SSD, it’ll be 512gb again.

Just saw that you said top model, it’ll be 1TB and 512gb for the base models.

 

[LFC2020]

It’s time Tim Cook, stop playing games, it’s time to destroy the rest of the laptop market, I want the most sexy MacBook Pro redesign that the world has ever seen.

Also want the thinnest bezels in the game, I want them to be so thin, that’ll you’ll need a magnifying glass to see them. 😎🧐💻

Hi I will also be getting a new MacBook Pro from Belgium but I’m not sure if the one with Eng keyboard layout is immediately available on launch have you got any info on this?

You’ll be able to choose what keyboard layout you want.

Set to English here in Australia, maybe that’s because English is the preferred language here. 🤔😂

Check on the order page like I did.

You better not be setting me up for disappointment lol, can’t sleep? Let me guess, checking your Apple Watch order? 😂

Yes, it’s 3:15AM and I woke up 45 min ago … can’t go back to sleep. Apple has taken over my life haha! Feeling like Tim Cook. I wonder if he’s up.

I know the feeling, the night before a event, I always say I’m not going to watch it at 3am, then I always end up watching it. 🤦‍♂️😂

I’m so glad the event is on Monday. We don’t have much wait left for this last event. Finish this year strong!!!

What else is left to introduce this year though? I don’t think Apple Glasses AR is ready

I’m pulling your leg, we are most likely done for the year lol.

This is insane, off the charger at 6:30am

Still have 42% left. 😳😳😳

Just saw that you said top model, it’ll be 1TB and 512gb for the base models.

Yeah, I mean one of the standard models without adding optional extra RAM/SSD.

When I ordered my first mac, the late 2013 13", there were only 2 base models. I ordered the top one (8/256) and it worked great for 6 years. I did a lot on it that I hadn't anticipated (lots of development, including web, video processing and basic AI) and it kept on going. That gives me a lot of confidence that the same config in a new machine should do fine. My current 16" is pimped almost to the max because I thought I needed it (RAM for VMs etc) but I find that I actually don't use it at all. I started using Logic but it's never taking more than 3-4GB RAM. So 16/1TB should take me a long way.

Hi I will also be getting a new MacBook Pro from Belgium but I’m not sure if the one with Eng keyboard layout is immediately available on launch have you got any info on this?

As the other poster said, yes, they should all be available at once. But I order a BE keyboard and type US International on it blind. I want the ISO layout (tall enter, extra key next to the left shift) and don't care what's written on the keys.
