Apple needs this seriously whoever is making these panels for MSI, better take some meetings with Apple. Can you guys imagine for a second a MacBook Pro with literally an Apple XDR Display this is how that happens.

Anyone see any downsides beside price. ?
 
If that 17 inch(👍) MSI laptop is hackintosh compatible, it'll be close to a dream-machine.

Apple should implement a 16:10 version. That would be one of the few MSI downsides.

Well Apple could always put in a contract order for a 16”. version. Call it the MacBook Pro XDR and it would be matte black. And come in a black box.
 
I assume that the downside of the MSI implementation is going to be battery life. At any rate, Apple laptops with mini-LED backlight is expected in 2021 and I would guess it will be more energy efficient than any competitor (as usual). Apple has been doing research on this tech for a long time now.
 
Apple will eventually go to mini-LED, but they will not be the first. They tend to be rather conservative in their tech choices. One choice I applaud them for is not getting sucked into OLED panels. I have seen several systems with permanent screen burn in from the windows control bar.
