I was so hoping for a constant bezel width. Unfortunately the top bezel is still a lot larger than the side ones. I know it's because of the camera, but that makes for an awkward looking device…
- 8draco8 7y agoCan you elaborate on why constant bezel width is so important? Most devices (phones, tablets, TVs, laptops) don't have constant bezel width.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoMost devices look terrible as a result.
- 8draco8 7y agoThat's your personal opinion. I don't like thinning of the machines (and that's a opinion) but I have actual reasons for it (overheating, battery size, upgradebility). Saying that uneven bezels are bad because you don't like them is like saying that recycling is bad because I don't like multiple bins in front of my house.
- Ecco 7y agoI just find uneven bezels ugly. And I think symmetry as a beauty factor is quite widespread :)
- bhauer 7y ago> Most devices (phones, tablets, TVs, laptops) don't have constant bezel width. Some phones and tablets have varied bezel width because they are touch-screen devices that need to be held by their screens. In my experience, most TVs and laptops have uniform bezel widths. Especially TVs since they are so commonly treated as furniture, and therefore receive a great deal of design attention. On laptops, an exception is often the bottom bezel, where you often will see some additional surface material. I agree with GP that laptops should have uniform bezel widths to look their best. It's not a must-have, but a uniform narrow bezel is optimal for laptop aesthetics.
- anentropic 7y agobetter than having a cutout from the screen...
- biggestdecision 7y agoMaybe they should add a notch?
