extremeboredom comments on Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models

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. :)

The pessimist sees the notch as wasted space, the optimist sees it as extra screen.
