A new, thinner XPS 13 is also coming later this year.

On one hand, its not that bad on a Mac... but that's because the OS is designed in such a way where there's nothing there and it sorta gets lost. Windows isn't like that at all.

On the other hand, At least its not right above the keyboard like some of the ones we have at work... the "up the nose" cam is not flattering.

Just give me a bezel, I want a machine not a fashion accessory.

I hate the notch, and I used to say I'd rather have a bezel, but after going back to one of my pre-notch laptops, not having a bezel is nice. I still hate the notch though. I wish I could opt for just not having a built in webcam. It's not like they use it for faceid, and I use an external webcam for work meetings anyway. Plus the iPhone seamlessly works as a webcam.

For xps price, they need to stick it under the screen. I hard pass on needless bezel and always on notch.

They literally had the small bezel and the camers on top in a previous XPS model.

Yeah, but no notch, so the bezel wasn't excessive or needless. I still passed on it, though. But that's a personal choice.

I realize my tone could be misinterpreted, my intention was to support your comment on the new model and how it can look like a step backward compared to previous models.

My intention was not to refute your comment. :)
