There are two simple words that sum up how I\u2019m feeling about the new MacBook Pro: oh no.<\/p>\n

In case you haven\u2019t heard, Apple is holding an event today<\/a>. Supposedly, this will be the announcement of the M1X MacBook Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot to be excited about. The rumors are that Apple will ditch the traitorous Touch Bar<\/a>, MagSafe is making a return<\/a>, and the displays will be sharper and larger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On paper, this is fantastic. The new MacBook Pro doesn\u2019t sound like an update, it\u2019s an entire refresh \u2014 something the machine has sorely needed.<\/p>\n

Yet \u2014 and you knew there was going to be a yet \u2014 a disturbing rumor has been floating around, one that\u2019s made me sweat. Are you ready? WRONG. YOU CAN NEVER BE READY FOR THIS.<\/p>\n

The M1X MacBook Pro may have a notch. Yes, you read that right, a notch. <\/em>The bane of phone users\u2019 lives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oh no, indeed.<\/p>\n

At first this seemed just like idle speculation<\/a>, but things are getting too real for my liking:<\/p>\n

\n

The leaked photo of a MacBook Pro with a notch yesterday appears to be overlaid with a stolen schematic of a MacBook Pro with a notch that surfaced as part of REvil\u2019s ransom attack on Apple supplier Quanta Computer earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Notch might really be happening\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/WrW0YpWWYQ<\/a><\/p>\n

The rumor mill is in such a spin that there are even stories circulating about how Apple\u2019s planning on obscuring the notch in MacBook Pro marketing materials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The whole saga is baffling. I can\u2019t see the upside to including a notch. Slightly more screen space overall? But at the expense of having a horrible bump jutting out into the display? And lots of software being buggy? Or needing a redesign?<\/p>\n

The weirdest part of this rumor is that Apple (supposedly) isn\u2019t planning to include FaceID with the notch.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no need for facial recognition on a laptop when you have the TouchID fingerprint scanner, but surely this would be at least one selling point for the ugly bump?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t get it. Especially when, and let me say this as loud as possible:<\/p>\n

THERE\u2019S NOTHING WRONG WITH A THIN BEZEL<\/h2>\n

It hides a camera perfectly. And it\u2019s far less noticeable and irritating than a notch jutting out into your screen space.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to stop here. For the moment.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, this is another Apple Watch redesign-style rumor<\/a> that the leakers have got wrong. Or there is some delicious element of this potential notch on the new MacBook Pro that no one has thought about.<\/p>\n

But until the event later tonight, I\u2019m going to be praying to Mr. Tim Apple that this is all a big misunderstanding.<\/p>\n
