The Notch = The instant NO DEAL
Seriously why does Apple love ruining their beautiful screens with a notch?
Apple are victims of their own processor IP sucess
Now I hope they focus as much on battery and display tech as they have on their processors
That’s where the next big changes to power consumption battery life and longevity will come from… and display improvements.

lol at 24” iMac and starting at 8GB/256GB
The only scary thing about these products are the prices.
Not wasting my money on any of them. Will wait for an M3 Air…and hope it doesn’t get a price hike.

Well I was asking for a 15" MBA with the MBP screen and more ports, I guess this was one way to give it to me. Still gotta upgrade the RAM or go M3 Pro to get the Space Black if interested but seeing such a cheap MBP option is nice to see. Glad they did away with the 13" MBP that thing just didn't make any sense.
There's no reason they can't change that. A bit of a redesign, but not that much.
I actually don't mind 24", it would be a good size for me, but I need better specs!
use software like SwitchResX to set a 16:10 resolution (theres native retina ones built in still) and the notch goes away
After checking the price, I finally know why the event is called “scary”.
I was kinda hoping that the M3 would also be in the 16" MacBook Pro but in retrospect it might have diluted things too much.
Bravo!
the macbook air M1 is very fast and hopefully the m1 macmini too!
I used to design and create websites last decade and would feel way too much pressure to finish 50% faster
as they claimed how fast these are especially for coding.
Thanks for the suggestion, but relying on software to fix hardware issues are never the solution.
I just want to buy a MacBook Pro with NO Notch out of the box, or it's NO DEAL.
To be fair, they just released the 15” M2 Air in June. It’s not like they’re going to update it so soon after or only update the 13”.
The biggest change this year is for people who wanted the 14” screen and ports but don’t need the power of a Pro/Max chip. The battery life for those folks essentially went up from 17h/18h to 22h.
You're comparing two different models. Compare it to the 14 inch it replaced.
Want an M2 13 inch MacBook Pro: Here it is: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-air/13-inch-m2 Same specs.
Was waiting for this to upgrade my 2019 MBP. Glad I didn't have to wait until March. 🧐
It's the exact same for me, I wont buy a laptop with a notch, period. I'm voting with my money.
Such lacklustre products.
8gb of memory in a 'Pro' computer is a scam. $200 for 512 more gigabytes of storage is a scam. No upgraded Magic accessories is a huge disappointment. No new Smart Folio colours, even!
It feels like Mac hardware is quickly falling behind, just like it was in ~2016–2019 — boring overpriced computers for a very niche audience of videographers. PC is catching up on power efficiency, PC offers huge amounts of RAM and storage essentially for free, PCs are getting higher-quality OLED displays, and PC is usually ahead when it comes to performance (depending on the workload, of course).
Apple built a lot of goodwill with M1, but they can't milk it forever.
And how dare they say that MacBook Pro is built to last when it comes with soldered storage? It's an e-waste right out of the box and they know it 🥲

Now that you mention it - yes, my M1 MacBook Pro has a notch. Haven't really noticed that in months. And I'll forget it in about five minutes.
It did not replace 14" M2 Pro for sure. 13" Pro with regular M2 is now gone and this 14" M3 Non-Pro is the replacement.
Maybe with M4 chips, the machines can start with 4GB of RAM
Rectangular screens are boring and dumb.
You also get additional screen estate on laptops with notch. And it just looks nicer.
