I wish they would bring back an all white version (not aluminum). Other than that, happy to see magsafe return.

The plastic Macbooks had a lot of problems with cracking, wear, and discoloration. I'd be surprised if they ever came back.

Notch is painful to see. Hope they walk back on it like for the mag safe.

I stopped noticing the notch after using it for, what, maybe half an hour on my MacBook Pro? And the screen estate besides the notch is extra and the idea fits well with the macOS menu bar.

I drooled over the black Macbook waaay back in 2006, so happy it's back.

I presumably still have mine, though it's probably hidden away in storage somewhere. Why I as a poor grad student in 2007 thought it was worth it to pay extra just for the black finish, I'm not sure. I was new to the Mac back then ... funny to think that I went from anti-Apple as a college student to a dedicated Mac user for fifteen years.

And for the first time, MacBook Air supports fast charge for charging up to 50 percent in just 30 minutes with an optional 67W USB-C power adapter.

Anybody know if the 67W USB-C power adapter is finally stock? Edit: Nope, still gotta wait a month: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MKU63AM/A/67w-usb-c-power... Other (bigger) chargers are a 2 month wait. Looks like Apple is still suffering from supply chain issues.
