Notch is painful to see. Hope they walk back on it like for the mag safe.
I see it there looking right at it... but I'm sure in a few minutes it won't exist in my mind once again. It is simply that out of the way which seems so strange given that it is right in the middle... but that has always been a dead space in macOS.

the 24GB are for the MBP
For Air too: https://www.apple.com/macbook-air-m2/specs/ > Configurable to: 16GB or 24GB Store is updated too, 16GB upgrade is 200$ and 24GB is 400$.
If Apple announced a 16" MBA, I'd buy one and ditch my ThinkPad. 13" is just a bit too limiting for my tastes, and I don't need the power or the extra expense of the 16" MBP.
The 24GB unified memory is a really nice upgrade (the M1 MBA has 8GB upgradeable to 16GB). The CPU/GPU upgrades are predictable and wlecome but the memory is huge. A lot of development isn't CPU bound but is memory bound or at least can really benefit from more memory. This upgrade makes the MBA an entirely viable dev machine for many workloads. I have a MBP (Intel) but it's expensive. Getting a viable machine for $1…
> makes the MBA an entirely viable dev machine for many workloads. So this, like the M1 supports only ONE external display.. so as long as you live the lopsided big-small life, sure.
Cannot believe the updated base MBP has the old Touch Bar. Why can’t they give us back our function keys? EDIT: and is now the only laptop without MagSafe? There are more ports on the new MBA!
One paragraph on that page bothers me: "Better for the Environment" No, it is not better for the environment, it is not as bad for the environment.
Given two options, both of which are bad for the environment, but one is less bad, is one not better than the other? Can you point to a product that highlights its strengths by framing them in a negative light instead of painting them positively?
Only 18% CPU performance improvement.. looks like we are finally getting diminishing returns.
1. 2017 3.1GHz Quad i7 clj -M -e 1 1.73s user 0.12s system 232% cpu 0.795 total
2. 2020 M1 Mac Mini clj -M -e 1 0.65s user 0.05s system 157% cpu 0.445 total
and I'm getting a very similar time-ratio, when I'm running our test suite for example. I find these speeds extremely satisfying already!
Wonder how good it is compared to the latest NVIDIA GPUs in laptops for gaming and ML Tasks
Laptops this size cannot fit NVIDIA GPUs.

It's a very small laptop with the option to utilize a current generation Nvidia GPU.
A bit curious about the reasons behind the 24 GB limit. Also sad the Mini didn't get an M2 option. :-( The Mini is a true workhorse machine.

M2 does not hold a candle to the M1 Pro or Max, don't worry. Every improved spec is much better in the M1 Pro/Max.
Yeah but my guess is soon the M2 Max will be revealed. Its probably already developed, they just need to wait six more months to reveal. Clearly apple is able to jump straight to the M2, but they are releasing M1 to maximize profit.
