- epmaybe 4y agoMost if not all MacBooks today are still 16:10 ratio..
- rsynnott 4y agoStrictly speaking they're not; the bit below the notch is, but you get a bit of extra space around the notch to accommodate a menu bar.
- goosedragons 4y ago16:10 goes ALL the way back to some of the earliest widescreen LCDs. The original Apple Cinema Display was 1600x1024 in 1999. This was predated by the SGI 1600SW with the same resolution in 1998.
- justin66 4y agoThe Matrox Millenium II supported 1920x1200 in 1997. Manual for the Mac version, but the PC version has this resolution as well: https://www.matrox.com/sites/default/files/en_millennium_ii_mac2_installation_guide.pdf https://www.matrox.com/sites/default/files/en_millennium_ii_...
- WesolyKubeczek 4y agoIIRC it's so since Titanium PowerBooks which were the first to go widescreen at Apple, so it's 2001. Then aluminum PowerBooks with 16:10 screens, too. Intel MacBook Pros continued the trend.
- rsynnott 4y ago... Wait, really? Huh. I thought the Powerbooks were 4:3 til the end, but yeah, just looked and you're right. (I had a G4 iBook at the time, which was 4:3).
