I think (and people more familiar with MacOS can correct me here) it raises the menu bar above what would have been the normal screen area so you get a centimetre or whatever it is more space to play with? Something like this?
Or am I understanding it wrong?
And no, not yet. I'm waiting for reviews, and if possible if I can see it in-person at Currys. I'm not sure about this notch. If I buy it this will be my laptop for probably the next 8 years or something. I don't want to be stuck staring at that notch and hating it.
If previous years are any indication, resellers like KRCS tend to take around £200 off the RRP around Thanksgiving.
