[@XGamer457]

19:48 There is a way to do that. Since MacOS Monterey you can go to "System Preferences -> Dock & Menu Bar" At the Bottom you can then uncheck the option "Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen". If you do this, the menu bar will alway be visible, even when you go into full screen mode

[@snazzy]

Can confirm this works. Should be default behavior on these new machines. Thanks for the tip.

[@robertp457]

@@unlink1649 that’s just not fair. The reason is youtubers spend a lot of time editing videos. Every 10ish minute video you watch has a day or many days behind them, it’s not as if youtubers spend the length of time it takes to render them only. It’s many many hours out of their video production work. What other workload would you suggest? What is repeatable, will show a significant difference, and replicates real world applications?

[@mileslemon]

I actually like how the fullscreen mode hides the menu bar, if im in a fullscreen app I want to be immersed in that app. Another nice change here is that when hovering on the menu bar in a fullscreen app it no longer pushes down that fullscreen app which was very annoying and caused a lot of accidental clicks.

[@halami2149]

Yesssss omg that was always so annoying. And it instantly appears when you hover over it on this MacBook, before you had to hold your mouse there and wait for a moment. Then it pushes down on everything, which would sometimes even glitch out the app I was in. I just gave up and just expand the window to the corners of the screen, and I always have the dock hidden. And I changed the dock appearing speed to be instant, so as soon as my mouse is down there, it shows up

[@nurglerider781]

Yes this felt like a very deliberate choice by Apple and I think they made the right one.

[@jaimeduncan6167]

I agree with you, not hiding the menu bar in full screen mode will be contrary to the idea of full screen mode, most of the time. Now it could be an option.

[@The_Ardashir]

Yes I agree with you. you know what makes it better? "An Option". It would be better if user had the option to hide it inside apps or no, or even better if you could choose to have it hidden in certain apps. After all I believe having options is better than having none.

[@fivesixgeek]

There is a new setting for that in System Preferences.

[@Henry-su5nx]

19:35 you can actually change this in the settings now, under dock & menubar and then remove the tick at hide menu bar in full screen mode

[@kotokrabs]

19:57 - I guess they made the bar disappear just because people would be annoyed by it when watching videos in fullscreen

[@dkaloger5720]

Absolutely

[@fabiolindner]

It’s definitely the right choice for default bar behaviour. Many ordinary people would be annoyed watching Netflix with these machines and always seeing the bar up there. If you want it differently just change the settings.

[@milkyy4168]

I feel they could probably just sync the bar with the content that’s being displayed though. Black for videos, and then color match it like they did with safari.

[@Mixi1]

О, Артём, а ты тут что забыл?)

I agree that is probably the reason, however it would be nice if it could be configured by application. For example, there are many apps I would like to run in full screen but keep the menu bar.

People get very "stick to what you know", which to KZbinrs is video editing. So it's understandable that those are the tests they focus on. Why is no one asking why aren't there more software developer or data science or 3D Graphics KZbinrs running these tests themselves?

@@VMYeahVN speaking in terms of my interests - there is plenty of people testing PCs for 3D computer graphics purposes, I can get all the GPU or CPU benchmarks and info I need from KZbin. It’s specifically people testing macs for 3D where it’s lacking, and that’s largely because historically there has been little or no support for the GPUs Macs are using (no Nvidia on Mac). The industry is in a transition period now where suddenly with these Apple GPUs will make it viable. But it’s very niche at the moment (literally these are the first computers with the new GPU, and software isn’t yet supporting them for a few months at least) and just not that many people using Macs for 3D.

[@Millahtime]

You can leave the menu bar visible in full screen mode, its an option in settings!! Default is turned off. The area of the notch is likely defined as a "safe area" in macOS, very similarly to how iOS does it. Since menus are just standard system UI, the safe area is already baked into the AppKit APIs. However, since menu bar apps are distinct apps, its very likely that developers will need to update to recognize the new "safe area." Hence why iStat menus can disappear behind the notch, while menu bar items will wrap around the notch. I don't expect this to be an issue for very long. The notch is brand new to macOS! On top of that, menu bar apps need a proper overhaul in macOS. They've always kind of been like a hack. macOS needs a system for managing menu bar apps. I would expect a collapsible list icon to be added to the menu bar very soon to Monterey.

[@tayjn]

Menu Bar in full screen is an optional setting in Monterey for all Macs

[@RogueCarrot]

Yeah. It's a new option you can enable now so you can have the menubar always visible at all times if you want. I just want to know what happens if you turn on the other option. "Automatically hide menu bar on desktop."

[@natbarmore]

A couple thoughts on the notch: The necessary UI decision makers seem to have followed in Jobs' minimalist footsteps and so they didn't think anyone would have enough status icons for it to be a problem. As for full-screen + notch: the reason the menu at disappears in fullscreen isn't because the space is needed; only a few apps have specific aspect ratios to their content. The menubar disappears because someone decided that that was a useful/valuable UX. If you want an interface option "uncluttered" by the menubar (but still cluttered by like toolbars and such, apparently?) then you don't want the menubar visible just because there's more space on your screen.

[@iamseanb17]

In certain contexts like, watching movies, you don't want the menu bar to always be showing so it's fine to auto hide it. That's ok. But the whole menu bar items disappearing needs work.

[@mikemanzano5363]

(1) menu bar items on the right always disappeared when the menu was too large with no way to access them. (2) the “warp” across the notch when using menus is inconsistent with normal cursor movement but is consistent with menu operation; since the menus straddle the notch so does the cursor. I.e. when you invoke a menu you’re navigating menu space not your normal screen space; users are used to subsequent menus immediately popping open as they scrub over them, if there were a dead space it would feel unnatural. Similarly warping or colliding with the notch when just moving your cursor around would feel unnatural. (3) there is a new option in settings to always have menus enabled in full-screen mode. (4) as far as I stay menus extending behind the notch, yeah. Got me there.

Why does nobody talk about how all this macbooks are trash after the ssd gives out? There is no way to replace it so the whole machine goes to waste.

[@ShinyTechThings]

Apple redefined the word "Recycling" to mean throw it away and buy a new one. Also buy the one with 16GB of ram or more to decrease teh probability of swapping to the SSD if RAM runs out and that helps extend the lifespan of the SSD.

One thing I love about your video, outside of the content is the wonderful color grading, lighting and minimalistic quality of the visuals. Such a rest for my eyes 💆🏻

must be done to sustain life. nice work.

[@davecrawley4634]

@@snazzy I ate brick dust and drank paint. I feel unsustained.

[@SaiHemanthReddyWilliamHGates]

Top Bar in full screen can be changed to stay on. (System Preferences → Dock & Menu Bar, under Menu Bar, "Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen") But idk why apple disable this by default.

Is using the phrase “Holly Smokes” the right one to use while talking about a laptop?

[@pdubyaz]

@19:45 for presentation purposes you may not want the menu to show, that's usually what I use full-screen for.

[@izored]

Well this one gone be my evening watch. Was waiting for your opinion.

[@zdbosoxfan3670]

You can go in menu bar settings and disable "auto hide in full screen" and it will stay up there displaying all the time

[@iwilitu6591]

But why is he complaining about the menue bar not staying in full screen when he didn't even enable this behavior in settings

[@ArthropodSpidey]

I'm actually super glad that I bought the M1 MacBook Pro now. Old, but usable design. Thanks for validating my purchase.

[@catherinedesrochers]

I love how objective and nerdy the SnazyLabs reviews are (and also not only focusing on benchmarks and videos editing)

[@jpmendozajp]

You can leave the menu bar fixed on full screen mode on Monterey. You can enable it in settings under menu bar options. Can you charge the new macs with magsafe hooked to a power bank? Great video btw.

[@ShinyTechThings]

@cheeks jp I'm going to guess yes but I'll have to find my power bank and try it. The MagSafe adapter is USB-C on the other end so I don't see why not. message me in a few days and I'll probably have tested by then on my 14" M1 Max.

@5:00 I design mechanical hardware and enclosures, They likely used a softer grade of aluminum for the bottom but that doesn't necessarily mean it's cheap. If the rest of the chassis is sturdier then a super hard aluminum isn't going to be needed for the base since when assembled the chassis will provide that rigidity. If anything it may be providing some durability as harder aluminums, while stronger, will also crack and fracture

[@teddiesasmita]

Thank you. You're the best YT reviewer for thorough information.

[@iflash05]

19:53 I very much like that it is black, when I am full screen I wouldn't like the menu bar to disturb me

[@ubifmcnew]

I hate to be that guy with the teardown part, but: - Screw bit is P5, not P3, to remove bottom plate. - They *have* put the battery right on top/behind the trackpad in previous models; it's been standard for years now. The only deviation was the 12" MacBook that had the battery adhered to the bottom plate. Liked and subbed as always though! Great video.

[@jhenukumar]

Where is the performance testing promised in other professional applications

[@YTYTYTY7]

22:24 LOL!!! I thought you were scratching like DJ and turning on a music.

[@jasonblaise6786]

This is the funniest, most in depth, most entertaining and informative first Impressions I have ever seen. Subbed

[@snazzy]

Thanks, and welcome!

[@iamamacuser]

For the Notch, I wonder how "Hide Menu Items" from Parallels Toolsbox would work in showing / hiding menu icons.

[@florisgroteclaes1700]

The thing with the disappearing Icons in the top bar also happened in the previous MacBook Pro's when the space ran out.

[@ahmu83]

You way of presenting any product/detail/idea, in any videos. It is just awesome

[@PMA]

18:47 I don't know if they will fix it. It's not about the notch, it's like that since a while. I live with this on my 2014 mac book air since a while. Icons on the right leave place for the menu bar when it take to much space. You have to put the more important one on the right otherwise you don't have access to it. Yes it's stupid. 😂 But I'm actually glad with your test about the notch. I hate notch but it's not as bad as it could had been. Hey thank you again for your test, I'm waiting for my 14 inch M1 max today. 😀

[@VersatBeats]

Can anyone tell me if they're get these annoying little pop up ads at the bottom of every KZbin video on their MacBook?.. Not sure if its normal or not and they're really irritating me! I don't mean the normal KZbin ads you get when monetising your video.. These ads kind of just pop up throughout the video playing at he bottom of the video in the middle and im not sure if it's a virus or not. Any info would be much appreciated.
