There are a lot of comments about the notch but I don't think a lot of people understand what Apple did here. The notch isn't eating into the standard Mac screen real estate. The screen *below* the notch is 16:10, the same as a regular Mac laptop display. What Apple has done is extend the screen upwards to either side, with a section for the notch in the middle.

You may not like the look of the notch - and that's fine, it's a personal taste thing. But you are gaining screen real estate here. Not losing it.

Notch is a notch, we all understand it's simply a hole in an otherwise square screen, so no need to reprint Apple's pitiful marketing here words. If they made it 10" thicker would you be even more happy about the increased screen space the notch brings?

Never ever will I buy a laptop with a notch. Waited several years to see the butterfly keyboard go, can wait another few until that ugly hole in the screen disappears no problem. In the meantime, will spend my money elsewhere, Apple.

Great time to release a new base model MacBook, which would retain the old display design with the nee keyboard, let's say, like the base model iPad, and sell for an even lower price? $799? Maybe $999 and then charge more for the Air.

that render looks way better in screen aspect ratio department, than those released for the 14 & 16

I'm cant be the only one that is seeing how they are slowly moving towards sealing everything off, like they do on iPads.

but well, I'm not their target market either, so good luck to everyone who's into this

The notch looks less pronounced here than on the pro, but I still feel like they're just making an obnoxious design statement a-la "green bubbles"

For the rest of us sane people, a monitor with an obstruction is an inferior monitor. No sale
