It’s definitely not notorious, it’s functional and it’s easily dismissed by the user and the UI, as there’s several dozen extra rows of pixels in the top menu bar that isn’t part of the functional UI as years past. But the fact is the camera/web camera is a helluva lot better @ 1080p now (and occupies the ‘notch’), as are the speakers and audio when compared with the older 720p cameras in the wide bezels used until now. And by many PC makers still. IOW = non-issue - it’s not usable space and being black, with the mini/micro-LED displays ability to hit near pure black like OLED, it’s not even noticeable. I’ve forgotten it’s there and I use Menu Meters, as well as other junk in the bar without issue Any reviews that mention the notch as notorious, ugly, distracting, or otherwise negative are poorly written reviews. The best laptops money can buy are these MBPs if you’re a creator and/or enjoy quiet creation and wicked performance on real world tasks with efficient and powerful battery/unplugged muscle, it just doesn’t get any better! Ice the reviews that do anything but mention the notch and move on - saying the same I did You will forget about it a minute or two after boot up
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’m unaware and I’ve owned it for a bit more than a year, there’s no notorious notch. Period There’s a few extra rows of pixels on the top lines of the machines - with a housing for the camera dead center of the top (1080p now) - is that the ‘notch’ you are referring to as notorious? I don’t know any owners who would consider it notoriously or even noticeable after the first few seconds of use - as it’s not really visible when using the computer The entire UI is still visible from the perspective of the user, with an insanely thin bezel that looks like a million bucks And in the dark - the display technology produces excellent blacks and extremely bright HDR content that is perfectly situated aspect wise - the only thing you’ll notice is the incredible sound quality and volume, and the fact it’s the best display you’ve ever owned!!!
