The 1 inch more of 14” Pro vs Air is the notch area only! $1999 vs $999!

Interesting. The extra size and weight compared to the Air and the notch may just push me to return the 16" and keep the Air. I also am not clear how much BS marketing has played into ProMotion on the MacBook Pro screen: is it ProMotion only sometimes? etc.

Promotion is always active and helps battery life the not much movement on screen, like reading emails. Although there is supposedly tiny blooming effect but have to see it in person.

To me, the difference is $1200 between my air price (used) and new pro. 80% of time I'm looking at an external monitor anyways.

Only real pro gamers need high refresh rate monitor.
I never saw a pro gamer uses mackbook pro to play game.

What are you talking about Willis? No notch up in here. The speakers are amazing watching Midnight Mass on Netflix. Love the screen and speakers.

My iPad has an 120hz screen and I mainly use it productivity. It’s not even necessary even for a “pro gamer” to have but it’s still a nice feature overall

Laptop and desktop has much bigger screen then high or low refresh rate would not be that much different except competitive games that even 1/10 second matter

I’m a little confused by what you said but I’m guessing you meant laptops and monitors have larger screen and because of that a high or low refreshes rate would not make a big difference. Which I also find untrue as I have a 27” 165hz monitor and I can tell the difference in refresh rate compared to the old one very clearly

You understand there are more differences between the MBA and the new MBPs aside from the notch right? Meaning, differences that would lead people to choose the new MBPs over the MBA.

Very true and why I'm trading my M1 MBA in for a MBP Max 14". (more RAM, better screen, more cores)

But that said, if there was a 14" M1 Max without a notch, I'd buy it, and even pay a little more for it.
