You know before calling something stupid may be look deep? Everything starts somewhere dude, just because you don’t like it, it doesn’t become stupid. Transistors didn’t become AMD Ryzen EPYCs since day one. The first transistor was not even solid state and weren’t used since day one like you think, they went thru lot of changes to come where they are to replace vacuum tubes.
This notch may not have the functionality you expect but they don’t consume any real estate of usable screen, they if anything add to menu bar. If you don’t like the aesthetics of it, why should I even consider what you like? Every aesthetic has haters.
- brokenmachine 5y agoI had a look at the wikipedia page on transistors before I posted, but even had I not done that, it is obvious from where we are at now that a transistor had potential to be better than vacuum tubes. Going from a screen without a chunk out of it to a screen with a chunk missing from it is not an advantage in any way. A missing chunk of screen has no potential to be better than a complete screen. Complete screen > incomplete screen, simple as that. It's not simply an unlikable aesthetic, it is functionally worse in every way. It takes up the same physical space as a full screen, with less functionality. No amount of Apple fanboyism can change that fact. We are talking about this product, not some hypothetical future where that missing screen space is used for something more useful than a screen. They've gone in the correct direction for a few things in this product (HDMI, magsafe), but the screen chunk is a clear and obvious step backwards. How anyone could argue differently is beyond me.
