What's the alternative? A camera on top of the screen? Fragile, unless you could fold it away. Which would be another point of failure.

- bigstrat2003 1y agoA bezel would be far preferable to a notch.
- wahnfrieden 1y agoNo it wouldn’t be
- msh 1y agoWhy? Unless I am running a full screen app the notch gives me more screen space. Remember that the mac have the menu bar on top of the screen at all times so the space is not available for normal windowed apps.
- nixpulvis 1y agoI hide my menubar by default. I like using my space for stuff I'm actively looking at. I was watching someone code in vim on a new mac the other day and the notch covered part of the first like of their editor! Like how does this not completely break you as a human. Maybe I'm a little OCD idk. Isn't there just like an option to change the resolution and fix this? Apple should really have a "disable notch" mode.
- account42 1y agoMight be unthinkable to some, but an alternative could also be to have NO camera. People already have a phone with one if they really need it.
- nixpulvis 1y agoThe alternative is what literally every other laptop does and just has a rectangular screen. Put the camera outside please and thank you. iPhones have the same problem. Ever played a fullscreen game and had part of the UI cut off into the notch or island. Yep, it's a problem.
- mcv 1y agoThe idea is that you should consider the area around the notch to be extra, and not part of the normal screen. Show your game on the rectangular part of the screen, and use the extras for stuff that doesn't need the whole screen, like time, date, notification count, menu, whatever. Having just the rectangular screen means not having the option of making those things visible, or having a smaller screen.
