Maybe other ones already suggested this, I think the reason is that otherwise you'll still see the tip of mouse pointer if it is under the notch.
Just look at the hideous keyboard and you won't worry about the notch anymore. ?
Exactly. I'm not sure what people are griping about, 3.5 pounds, with the amount of computational power this thing can put out, is kind of insane. If its as cool as the M1's, that is even more asoutniding. All I ever hear from my Intel units is fans blazing away.
Man the pics of this thing, makes me feel like I did when I was a young 'un and I got my first 2006 MacBook Pro.
It's definitely noticeably thicker. Probably due to the mini-LED panel (and the improved webcam).
The redesign Is minimal I would’ve liked to have seen something more drastic. The cut out to open the lid, touchpad and speaker grills look the same. Do people really prefer speakers on top versus the bottom reflecting off the desk? The Apple logo still looks too small compared to the size it used to be. Would have been nice to have it light up even if just the border.
Do you have your speakers facing the walls in your house? I think directly facing the user offers the best sound rather than making the desk or whatever resonate and causing distortion or blocking the sound path.
I would of liked to seen the Apple logo light up again to but just an outline would of been cool.
Lol, I'm the "George" from the article. I'm not an employee....was just shopping at an authorized retailer and saw the computer on display so I took some pics and sent them to MacRumors
John Siracusa talked about this briefly on the latest ATP, his thought being that it was to eliminate a potentially ugly "tangent". Basically so the border between the menu and the rest of the screen is uniform, and there's not a distracting line where the menu meets the notch.
I’ve got a new Lenovo Legion 7 which features exclusively downward firing speakers and is some of the worst sounding laptop speakers I’ve ever heard. On the flip side though, Apple’s 16MBP solution features a tweeter up top via the speaker grills and then a larger speaker in the vent on the bottom corner, and it sounds awesome.
if you are not a developer or software engineer you cant understand this
i love magsafe, i can 140W charge my mac while im using the rest of the ports
The taper on the old design was only on the edge of the lid and on the bottom of the case. The actual keyboard area was not tapered. Those tapers were just a visual trick to make the box look slimmer and they obviously did that, but they also reduced the space inside. that limited the space for battery and for cooling. Those babies ran hot! With this new design they removed the tapered lid and tapered bottom of the case which gave more room inside for battery and for the cooling system.
the best for you to explain to them..is just make them think to the imacs from late 2014 how they were until the m1 iMac...they felt very very slim at the edge but as you travel to the middle the thicker it becomes
