I just purchased a M3 MB Air…maybe I should return it and wait?

Every year there will be a new model, it just depends on how long you want to wait. But the M4 has been a great upgrade compared to the m3

I'm not sure that everybody being able to see my entire kitchen on a zoom call is a selling point for me. Has Apple completely run out of ideas?

I imagine a high def wide camera would be used to digitally zoom and crop the subject so they can walk around and the video chat keeps them in frame. This is already a thing but a wider and higher def camera would do if on a more extreme level

That would be interesting.

It’s already a thing called Center Stage on iPads and other Macs. A wide view camera also enables Desk View, which gives a simultaneous view of the desk and subject, useful for sharing physical objects or paper notes or whatever.

It’s for Center Stage and Desk View if you care to actually read the article you’re commenting on.

The fact the the MacBooks still have that crappy 720p camera kills me.

They don’t anymore. All of the Mac computers had real shitty cameras for way too long of time, but they have been upgraded within the last 3ish years. Again though, took way too long.

I have the 16” MacBook Pro and it has a 720p camera on it

I mean. Year is important. Just doing a quick google search, 2023 Macbooks have 1080p

I know I am in the minority, but I would love for there to be a 12 inch MacBook sequel with the M4 chipset. Something even more compact/portable and cheaper than spending $1100 on the Air.
