I'm not a notch-hater, but I still think it's annoying.

No one here will be able to answer that.

I can imagine there looking at adding the "Dynamic Island" to notebooks because, why not? But until they officially release something like that no one here has any idea.

I can think of several reasons as to why not. Considering how focused the island is on being interactive, how fun would it be trying to do those interactions with a pointer?

My guess is that the island won't come to the Mac. And that the notch will eventually just go away and most fans will then admit it was kinda annoying to have there actually.

I stopped noticing the notch about 5 or 10 minutes into using my M2 Macbook Air, it's not an issue, it's not annoying. That's just me, others may vary but I chose not to make it a big issue.

They could still do the pill shape and leave out the "dynamic" part.
 
I don't think the pill makes sense on a laptop, but I also see the notch as being kind of like the Touch Bar on older MacBook Pros: it's interesting and a little controversial, but Apple will probably get rid of it in a few years and go back to a more normal way of doing things.
