@jarrod A few other first impressions:

  • Speakers are great (especially once you update to macOS 26 so it takes full advantage of them)
  • Nano-texture is super effective, but does make the display slightly less sharp. I think I’ll get used to it, but it’s not magic.
  • The camera looks good! I was worried it wouldn’t be as nice as my old 1080p one, but I’m happy with it.
  • Better, with Center Stage, I can set the display to my preferred height and the camera view reframes itself perfectly. 👌
