Isn’t that supposed to be the point? For the notch to be seamless with the menu bar so it doesn’t interrupt your actual content?
Its gorgeous, I feel like buying it just to have it. But, I will control my impulse and just go to the Apple store instead to play with it.

Too heavy and too thick. It is not cool but geeky.
Some phone manufacturers make it so that there is no notch whatsoever. They have a circular hole where the front camera goes. I wonder why Apple didn't go for a similar approach.
The notch is already seamless with menu bar and never interrupt your content but for that design the notch will surely interrupt the menu bar and not seamless at all.
2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 - these laptops are too thin, come on Apple stop with the form over function, give us a slightly bigger machine with more power and better battery life
2021 - this is way to big, how chunky? Come on Apple this is far too big and heavy

The notch is ugly and the menubar is too tall. That's pretty much the only complaints here in this thread.
The design is perfect. The keyboard draws attention to the letters now rather than the empty space around the keys. The old design looked tacky and dated.
He was using sarcasm to poke fun at the posts lamenting the occlusion of outdated tech that never had a chance in hell of making it into the new MacBook pro.

The notch is beautiful and the menu bar being up there gives us significantly more screen real estate now.
I love that design experts here think generic design like this is a good one.
Not only that, but good for preventing scratches. I've scratched a few of my MBP's in the past from just a measly grain of sand on the surface I put it on. It doesn't take much to scratch aluminum
The chassis has a definite old school pre-2008 MBP look to it when looked at head on with a closed lid though

What about a shot of the bottom of the laptop to show the engraved MacBook Pro name?
C’mon now, this isn’t Jony trolling is it? Are you Jony, trying to cause an undercurrent stir and the raising of pitchforks so Apple can announce the 2023 MBP to be .2 inches thinner?
I can see how Apple would care but how many here urgently care that their device is recognizable?
This whole notch/oberall design thing has clearly showed the divide between those who just want a pretty laptop that will look good at Starbucks and those who are buying these to get real work done and make money using them.
Is it possible to hide my links to the dark web in the notch area?
As long as they keep the Air <3lbs. It would be odd for Apple to make all their notebooks heavier now that they are using far more efficient chips.
Is the notch taller on the mac than it is on the iPhone? It looks like it is. That's annoying.
I also don't like how the camera is so "in your face" it's like the computer is staring at you.

I think it’s just cause of hdmi they chose to flatten it, probably allows for a bit bigger battery too
