So you are saying that without the notch we wouldn't get a better camera? I am sorry but I don't believe it. I do not hate the notch, but I still fail to see the advantage of it on a MacBook Pro.the notch brings a better camera, which is great for some not so great for others, but the screen is bigger
so for most the notch won't affect a thing.
I also do not understand why nobody speaks about the battery life regression when compared with the 13,3" M1 MBP.
