The notch turns out to be very much not a problem day-to-day. My Return key is sticking, just a little.

This seems to have been cleared up in non-beta macOS updates since I first encountered it.

This is because I was getting strange behavior that I wound up reporting to Apple, where the copy operation would hang for a long time before initiating.

You may recall that I didn’t post any benchmarks of copying files off an SSD via the built-in card slot.

This seemed to go away after I turned off “Slightly dim the display while on battery” (in the Battery section of System Preferences), but I don’t recall ever needing to do this with previous Apple laptops. I’d have to tap the F2 key a few times to get it where I’d like it.

I noticed that the display would frequently seem dim when I opened the laptop after some time.

Only a few issues have come up during my time with it: On the other hand, if Apple bills them as being good enough for professional HDR video color grading, they have to figure out how to close the gap between zoned-backlighting, which does have artifacts despite all of Apple’s cleverness, and true individual-pixel HDR. On one hand, they look great, have excellent color accuracy out of the box, and compete favorably with both professional HDR reference displays and Good Computer Monitors. I’m of two minds about the MacBook Pro display and Apple’s mini-LED HDR displays in general. The Display: The Best There is, but Not Perfect While we’re not all the way there (crucially, I am still not able to run the TANK benchmark project from my previous post), the proposition of replacing my desktop machine with this portable powerhouse became even more pressing. In just four months even Adobe, who were famously late to the Mac Intel transition, have optimized quite a bit of After Effects for Apple's processors.
