More smudges on the camera, since this is where the user grabs to open the lid, and the camera seems to be closer to the edge.

- m4rtink 5y agoNot to mention - how do you cover the camera to maintain privacy if its now part of the screen ?
- anyfoo 5y agoI don't understand. Was your camera cover extra wide or why would this be different now?
- m4rtink 5y agoMy Thinpak P1 has a moveable mechanical shutter I can move to physically block the camera lense. I don't see how you could do that reasonably with a notch design. Before that on previous laptop models I used a post-it note or a piece of paper held in place with a clothes pin. With the notch design you can't do that either without blocking parts of the UI!
- runako 5y ago> With the notch design you can't do that either without blocking parts of the UI! I thought I was following until this part. Why couldn't you just put a post-it or whatever over the camera itself? There are no pixels where the camera is (although I would be surprised if this is not something under active research).
- m4rtink 5y agoOh, looking more closely the notch is actually quite wide - yeah, that might be doable to fit a post it over it. Still a lot less maneuvering space for that than on a normal laptop.
- chipotle_coyote 5y agoI'm sure someone will leap in to correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think the LED "camera on" indicator is purely hardware on modern MacBook Pros -- you can't override it in software -- and I doubt that's changed with this one. So I'm not sure how big a deal this would actually be in practice. (I would probably go for a bit of black electrical tape if I were really worried about that, though.)
- serverholic 5y agoThe camera is pretty much in the same place?
