That notch thing will put me off! Ugliest impractical thing causing additional efforts and potential troubles unnecessarily. Avoiding iPhones with that, will do the same with laptops. And that magsafe -> no magsafe -> magsafe again disarray! Come on, make up your f mind. I held off buying new computer looong, did not want to leave MagSafe, it recently died so was forced into USB-C charging, which I did not want at all, ok, reshaped my practice and now this?! A never existed incompatible magsafe again?! I don't want to switch yet again, the magsafe 1 to 2 was a pain alone, then USB-C is a torture, I fn not do that again! Ok it presumably charges through thunderbolt 4 ports too with USB-C (theoretically, one never knows as I heard) but you spread your new magsafe after killing it proudly and loudly!? Jesus! How come Apple can ruin and confuse things so effortlessly, do they have a mandatory training in that or what?! It is big kudos to remove touchbar, have (have?) proper keyboard after the pathetic stumble series of trying to reinvent the wheel and f up the life of millions (the Air M1 is flawed still, repeats keys frequently), hallelujah for having HDMI again, finally paying attention of practicaliities in a consumer product not just the appearances and show-off but come on! Now this idiotic notch thing and the zillionth way of charging again? Very off putting, again, continuouusly now. Actually not interested to buy. (luckily I do not need a power plannt only a decent performing one so I can live with my advanced Air M1 for long long long time - assuming the keybard holds off -, when my wife's old Air dies we will stick to that or turning back to some serious manufacturer making laptops for use not for show)

You know it still supports USB-C charging right? Rather than confusion, I would see it as Apple finally turning things around and getting back on a road that is less "design above all else"

  How could you possibly now that, especially after decade long design fallacy over practicality and with this notch thing?! You have no foundation for this claim that it will happen just based one lone step back into the right direction. The best we can say is that after intensionally ruining practicality for the elusive gods of design there was a little light of hope, that's it! (btw.: "it presumably charges through thunderbolt 4 ports too")

You can blame Apple for having made dumb decisions in the past, but you can't blame them for fixing them now. Also, what additional efforts and problems with the notch are you talking about ?

  They had one single lone little sign of doing something right, don't let me quote Mr Wolf from the Pulp Fiction here please! : / Long, long, long experiences show that Apple don't care about practicality as muchs as appearances! One swallow makes no summer, as they say. I balme them not for the step into the right direction, please read the lines, please!, I blame them for the mindless chaos they caused and complain that I will not be shuffled around by them again, I am burn, they made it. Btw you know that te space of the notch does not display nothing, someone has to take care of it! That is an effort avoidable, as ALL other solutions show that. Also read posts about the notch on the phones, this is not a new thing, now it is escalated unnecessarily. We will see how this affect existing software with long menus, lots of manu bar icons, resolution change, screen shots. It has to be considered when it is there, compared to if it wasn't. Too little too late!

No matter what changes apples implements (even if its reverting to things people wanted back), people like you will always find a way to complain. Having used an iphone for a while, the notch really isn't noticeable, and I'd trade it for having a thick black border at the top any day.

  Open your eyes, people will find problem with stupid unpractical ideas, not the good ones, don't you read the internet?! Read my post at least please then, welcome changes are mixed with anger on repeated stupidity and avoidable inconsistency, questionable design elements just for design upsetting practice on a product made for serious use. Why don't you read the whole post not just the part you don't like?! : / Let me quote myself: "kudos to remove touchbar", "have (have?) proper keyboard" "hallelujah for having HDMI again". How can you reliably say people always find errors in everything? Only find error when there are errors for f sake! I use iPhone too and the notch is not noticable because it is not there! Same for my MacBook, all of them!!
