You may like that scheme from a functional standpoint, but Apple would never produce something like that. From a design standpoint, it looks bad when you place a sharp corner so close to the screen fillet. The extra breathing room feels much better.
They may reduce the bezel in the future, but IMO that would be done in the midst of a MB redesign.
- TazeTSchnitzel 10y agoAt the very least, the bezel should be at least as wide as the corner radius.
- redial 10y ago> Apple would never produce something like that Famous last words. The titanium powerbook had very small bezels for its time (2001), and I remember Steve Jobs when introducing it claiming that at the edge the cursor was almost gonna fall off. Of course this doesn't mean they'll do it again, but they certainly experimented with the idea before.
- jackvalentine 10y agoYep and the powerbook has a much... sharper? external corner (https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/OluAXYWRtcY3jVxu.large https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/OluAXYWRtcY3jVxu.l...) and still a way larger bezel than the above mockup.
