In our evaluation of the MacBook Professional, we are saying of the notch: “I view it as a compromise, not a design flourish … it’s not a foul compromise. The notch appears extra intrusive on the 14-inch mannequin, which has much less room throughout the menu bar to accommodate the protrusion.” We additionally say: “It’s the very best MacBook Professional since 2015.”
Hopefully, Notchmeister makes the cumbersome notch on the MacBook Professional somewhat extra bearable.
