Except on the previous model, if you called up the menu bar in full screen mode, it would drop down and squish your media. Now if you call it up in full screen mode, it takes up the space aside the notch so you still have your full full screen mode without the squishing.
And how many pixels you lose exactly? Really, does it matter? Would the MBP be better without the notch? Of course, it is a bit annoying but the notch is not something that ruins your experience or represents a major handicap. If you want to cry, do it for something that really impacts you in any meaningful way, for example lacking certain ports, performance in certain tasks or MacOs compatibility with certain software/hardware.

It will sell fine, simply because there is no alternative in the mobile mac world.
The way apple should of done it. Make it magnetic and connects with pins. Use it when you need it. Take it off and have an actual full screen displayView attachment 1876468
I have been looking at a notch on my mac mini's display for months. Never realised it was there
You don’t though. The screen is 74 pixels taller than the outgoing screen and the notch and wider menu bar live in that 74 pixels. You have more space now that the menu bar is out of the way. And you have the same space in full screen mode except when you call up the menu. In that scenario the menu is called up in the extra pixel zone instead of dropping down to squish your menu like it does now… so you still have more space than you do now.
What part of "online forums" didn't you understand? That is not limited to Macrumors, and you do realize that a negative headline about Apple generates way more clicks. So again, not something I value at all.I don't think its just this forum somehow....
MacBook Pro notch is getting a lot of hate - but Apple won't care
A rare design misstep from Apple? Maybe notwww.techradar.com
The MacBook Pro notch is stupid, and it better not start a trend
Go home, Apple, you're drunk.The MacBook Pro has an ugly notch — and there’s one big reason why
I can’t quite believe it, but Apple’s MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 have a notch. Yet there’s one big reason why Apple made this seemingly crazy decision.
I could go on but I think you get the point. MacBook Pros getting a notch is quite newsworthy and many people think it looks ugly and serves no useful purpose that justifies this design decision. Not just on this forum, and not just on forums. So it doesn't come as a shock to me that MacRumours does not equal the entire world, fortunately I am not so blinkered.
A notch makes sense on a small device like an iPhone where you need every mm of screen real estate, but even so, people are clamouring for the day that the notch is removed. We accept the notch on the iPhone, which is not the same as liking it (although no doubt there are some that do). When Apple introduced a notch into the iPhone it came with a killer new feature, FaceID. Maybe if the new laptops also had FaceID it would go someway to justifying this 'pro' notch 'feature' as so many people seem to believe it is...
Finally I'm glad you get no value in these forums yet continue to contribute. I guess that is 'cool' too?
They will get those clicks from people like you
the base comes with double of RAM and storage, HDR mLED, new CPU and new GPU, magsafe cable, new FHD camera. I think i can justify the price because I have 2019 Intel 13 inch macbook and thinking of new 14 inch. Yes, also screen is larger.
Exactly, Apple is just flipfloping around because they have no vision anymore, and run around in their design labs like lost cockroaches.I don't think its just this forum somehow....

What if this is someone at Apple’s sneaky way of planting the seeds for an excuse to add thinness one year soon?
The "only selling point" here are their newer chips, the Notch acceptance ist just a trade-off.
I'm guessing these new Macbooks will help Apple sell more Macs in a single quarter than ever before.
Yeah it's a notch-book. No argument there.
But it's also a port-book... and a MagSafe-book... and a no-touchbar-book... and a finally-not-absurdly-thin-book... and a won't-burn-my-legs-book... and a fans-don't-spin-constantly-book... etc.
You know... it fixes most of the things people have complained about the Macbook Pro from 2016-2020. Oh and it'll probably be ridiculously fast and efficient. Intel who? Apple makes incredible chips nowadays. And screens too.
I think there's way more reasons to get these new Macbooks... than not to get them.
Or you can just get a Dell laptop. Some of them let you flip the keyboard around backwards so you touch the keys when you try to use it as a 3 pound tablet! Nice!
I hope not. Otherwise, all my future proofing upgrades will be for notch, I mean, nought ?What if this is someone at Apple’s sneaky way of planting the seeds for an excuse to add thinness one year soon?
Or, intentional blandness this year in order to create excitement via a slightly edgier, “prettier” case in two years. Why do automakers saddle their base trim level for a given car model with plain Jane alloy wheels and limit the nicer looking alloy wheels to the more expensive model trim levels.

But you know, the price of tech does go down every year right? 1tb of ssd costs 500+ usd 8 yrs ago. Not it cost how much? And a lot faster.
The price goes down if the speed stays the same. But when the speed goes up to say 7.5 GB/s then the price won't go down!
Well, it's not about Dell or not, let's put the platform battle aside, I own many platforms as a dev and use all of them.Like I said... there's always Dell...
Oh wow, you can’t win. I express my opinion and I’m told it’s invalid because it’s not shared by others so I point out that it’s actually shared by many others and now I need my opinions validated by others to value them?
Even the M1 was already a gamechanger in my book. It forced Intel to do the Evo platform for Intel laptops to think more about thermal and battery properties (although still behind the M1).
The current Apple will always see to increase their ASP, so "cheaper" won't be in their book. They will intentionally put in more hardware (eg. Promotion) to justify their increase in price.
