only 3 usb c ports but the addition of magsafe makes that ok imo (and the usb c's still support power delivery)

If Apple can now recognise text in images..... can it index that metadata for Spotlight??

the notch on the new pro book displays is hilarious
― calstars, Sunday, 24 October 2021 17:34 (two years ago) link
I donβt see why the notch is a big deal to people, the middle part of the menu bar is dead space anyway.

I have never watched a movie on a laptop, though, because Iβm not a disgusting savage.

Exactly 0 % of display real estate is extraneous
― calstars, Sunday, 24 October 2021 18:10 (two years ago) link
Then you will like the notch because it means the bit below the menu bar is 16:10 and more pixels than without the notch.
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Sunday, 24 October 2021 18:47 (two years ago) link
Basically you have the same screen space you had before, but you no longer lose a strip at the top to a menu bar.
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Sunday, 24 October 2021 18:50 (two years ago) link
more pixels than without the notch.
― calstars, Sunday, 24 October 2021 18:50 (two years ago) link
You can make a case that it looks bad but you canβt make a case youβre losing βreal estateβ to it. The alternative is no notch and a smaller screen and a bigger bezel at the top.
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Sunday, 24 October 2021 18:52 (two years ago) link
No, the alternative is no notch
― calstars, Sunday, 24 October 2021 19:10 (two years ago) link
then where does the camera go?
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 24 October 2021 19:26 (two years ago) link
re: looks bad, I wonder if it would be distracting (or if you'd quickly learn to filter it out) but a black menu bar at the top instead of the gray I have now seems like it would take that out of play.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Sunday, 24 October 2021 19:50 (two years ago) link
Completely irrelevant because I priced one that I'd desire (32GB, 2TB SSD) and lol, of course.

― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 24 October 2021 21:44 (two years ago) link
You can lose a notch (new MacBooks), or a full width stripe the height of the notch (old MacBooks), or you can have one of those extremely cool pop up nostril cams. Those are the choices.

i thought i remembered somebody (apple?) patenting a camera that could be positioned behind a flat display, like it was actually IN the screen
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 24 October 2021 22:15 (two years ago) link
You guys are so right
― calstars, Sunday, 24 October 2021 22:52 (two years ago) link
duh
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 24 October 2021 23:08 (two years ago) link
i guess part of the problem with that idea is there's more than just the camera in there at this point. there's room for a bank of sensors, and they don't make it big for fun. there's the ambient light sensor, and tbh there's probably face id sensors in there too in a revision or two. the notch is way too wide to just be the camera.
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Monday, 25 October 2021 00:04 (two years ago) link
Like uh before the camera was in the bezel now youβre saying the bezel is the display but uhhh
― calstars, Monday, 25 October 2021 00:41 (two years ago) link
Fuck apple
― calstars, Monday, 25 October 2021 00:42 (two years ago) link
The bezel is smaller, the screen is bigger, and thereβs a notch in it.
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Monday, 25 October 2021 00:53 (two years ago) link
What
― calstars, Monday, 25 October 2021 00:56 (two years ago) link
Jokes aside I donβt see how you can defend a notch in the display like this. Unprecedented and subject to hall of fame ridicule if it were windows
― calstars, Monday, 25 October 2021 00:59 (two years ago) link
My current one has a notch, it stretches the entire width of the screen. Looking forward to my new MBP with a much smaller notch.

I'm unclear what you use the middle of the menu bar for tbh

I give up
― calstars, Monday, 25 October 2021 01:07 (two years ago) link
Itβs a 16/10 screen. the menu bar doesnβt take up space in the 16/10 bit because itβs is up in the bezel. Think of it like that.If youβre still struggling then maybe these guys can help https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=107926751&s=7a6b441006cacd9ee95fe544d92fda1e&pagenumber=t

Somehow Tom cook has convinced you that less is more. Enjoy
― calstars, Monday, 25 October 2021 01:10 (two years ago) link
Less what? The screen is bigger in physical size and pixels.
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Monday, 25 October 2021 01:11 (two years ago) link
... it's not less though
These have a 16.2" screen vs. the previous 16"
