but a notch in the screen for the camera ?!
wtf is their design team thinking ?
it's possibly the most idiotic design flaw Apple have ever come up with, and they've certainly been a consistent provider.
any faves ?

I'd rather have an ugly clip-on camera than that. remember those ?
absolute deal killer for me.
and what happens to menus in that area ?
imagine watching a fullscreen movie with a notch in the top.

p.s. I like the title of this thread . . . "Macobook", except it should be changed to "Wackobook".

But a fullscreen movie won't have the notch. The resolution without the notch is 16:10 aspect ratio. They've added screen estate above the 'normal' screen.

Hardly worth fussing about but it seems like the end of the world to about 50% of people for some reason.

Good catch. I just corrected the typo.

According to the apple announcement, the menus will automatically adjust to avoid the notch, so menus should not be affected. I agree it is somewhat unsightly, but this is not a show stopper for me.

Humm ??
Considering that there is nothing in my Finder menu header or on the browsers I use that is in the center where the camera is .. And the Apps open below the menu bar ? Kinda doesn't really sound like an issue ? So I would think it more a design decision rather than a "flaw" But hey to each their own ..

You do realize that there is nothing in the menu header on Finder or most browsers that is in the center where the camera is ? And that Apps open below the menu bar ????

I don't get the fuss about the notch. The area on either side of the notch is actually "just" for the menubar. macOS 12 will avoid it. Full screen video will be below the notch area and the top 1/4' of screen will simply be blacked out. So what the notch really allows is the same screen real estate as full screen WITH a menubar above.
