I think the menu bar is taller than the notch and seems to stick out below it. I wonder how this looks with different wallpapers.

Menu bar on the Pro's looked larger. They even mentioned it would line up.

Microsoft being anti-competitive. coalition for fairness on Windows ARM!Agreed, the biggest shortcoming for me is no Windows support. I only have an MBP for the ability to play games, which basically requires Windows support.
UK Pricing is worse, but that's what happens when Apple list the US pricing, as it excludes tax! I am living in the UK for a few months, and was going to purchase one, but sadly 1. As I would be paying with Australian card, online Apple UK doesn't accept non EU billing addresses (other than US) and 2. The price of the model I want, is AUD$1000 more after exchange, and add another 2% for bank charges.European prices are a little crazy. 16-inch starts at € 2.749.
For $2000 starting price, I was expecting a non-gimped CPU. Kinda greedy on their part honestly.the fact that base 14 inch has *only* 8 cpu cores and 14 gpu cores 🤡

Thank all those that wanted a better video camera for camping! Personally, if you want a great camera, do what those on YouTube do when vlogging live, buy a quality independent one. Even the one they are using isn't going to be that great. On the cheap, you can buy some lighting when at home, or any of the new Logitechs, that are truly amazing.But that's the thing. It's very distracting. Just look at the real images where Apple hasn't tried to hide it with wallpapers or full screen. It's a big black splotch right in the middle of the menu bar.
Apple heard and gave back what people was asking for "Pro" computers and that they ditched years ago: no more "let's make it thinner" that compromises functionality and thermal design, more ports (HDMI and SD card included), better screen, no more touchbar and back to physical buttons... Yet people always find something to complain aboutLooks amazing. If people only manage to focus on the notch I feel sorry for them
Would you care to share a cheaper PC with equivalent features?16" M1 Max starting at $3,500. Yikes.
what does that even mean? For a pint of reference, here is a Dell, not anywhere near as fast GB5~9800, vs what appears to be ~13000 for apple, nt as good a screen, slower SDD, and wait for it, wait for it....$3200 price tag. versus say $3000 for the MBP? hmmmmApple again raises the bar for 800 $.
what’s the problem with a notch? I’d rather have larger overalll screen and better camera.I can cope with a notch on the phone but I’m sorry I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER have one on my laptop
those will be my dying words.
Likely to keep it hidden for those that use the "more space" resolution option.I don't understand why? The menu bar is taller than it currently is on my Mac mini with M1 running macOS Monterey and my older MacBook Pro 13-inch with Touch Bar running macOS Monterey. Why would they make the menu bar extended lower than the camera cutout? Looks horrible. I didn't really like how the menu bar was taller/deeper to begin with but I figured it made sense so it would indeed be flush with the camera cutout. But making it go even lower? Why?
Interesting view point, I think they have just pandered to the fan boi, the system architecture is truly amazing, but bringing back MagSafe and a 1080p camera; no doubt due to the incessant whinging, isn't innovation. A laptop is a laptop, it's meant to be on the move, if it's being charged, it should be safely put on a desk. A built in laptop camera is the same, it's for using out and about, if your home, get something appropriate.They made the MacBook Pro again. Crazy to think people would actually use ports and be happy about MagSave.
Apple Fanboys claiming different making confused noises at the moment.
Yeah, same. This computer looks amazing but it's probably overkill for me. My M1 MBA will probably serve me just fine for years to come, so I'm hoping to see a lot of these improvements trickle their way down to the entry-level MacBooks. I'm especially curious to see what improvements will come to the cheaper MBP next year.I'll wait for the new MBA. Probably looking at $1299 for a nicely equipped version of that next year since they're still touting the 13" MBP at $1299. The base M2 MBA will be a little cheaper and then they'll throw the M2 in the 13" MBP too.
I agree about the windows support but here a thing: have you ever seen a professional laptop without Ethernet. Now you have.Agreed, the biggest shortcoming for me is no Windows support. I only have an MBP for the ability to play games, which basically requires Windows support.
For a professional music producer often running +150 tracks in Logic Pro, is it necessary to go for the (ridiculously expensive) M1 Max 16"??
Indecisive whether to go for a M1 Pro 14" with 32GB memory or a fully specced M1 Max 16" with 64GB.
EDIT: Apparently we do get M1 Max with the 14" if you just spec it.
