Once you move beyond size and weight, the 2021 MacBook Pros are noted for the slimmer bezels. Better still, there's already a free third-party solution, TopNotch, that hides it completely. Many apps (but not all) already adapt to the notch to make it less noticeable. This feeling almost certainly has to do with how macOS Monterey handles it. And yet, during my testing, it hasn't bothered me in the slightest.

Of course, all buyers won't accept the MacBook Pro notch. For the first time, the MacBook Pro has a notch like the modern iPhone series before it. The slimmer bezel has led to a somewhat controversial change. It's a considerable improvement and (finally) allows the product lineup to match the look found on competitor products.

MacBook Pro 2021 Notch (Image credit: iMore) The 2021 16-inch model is 14.01 x 9.77 x 0.66 inches versus the 14.09 x 9.68 x 0.64 inches found on the previous model. The 14-inch MacBook Pro measures 12.31 x 8.71 x 0.61 inches compared to the 11.97 x 8.36 x 0.61 inches found on the 13-inch model. I haven't had a chance to experience the 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro, but I've heard the overall size difference between it and the 2019 model is less noticeable beyond the weight. You can feel the 1/2 pound difference between the models, although the increased depth and width are less noticeable. Beyond this, there's no denying the 14-inch model provides a much larger screen area than the smaller model. This is true only with the height, which is 0.61-inches on both models. Some reviewers have argued there's not much of an overall size difference between the 13-inch and 14-inch models.
The new 14-inch version, officially measuring 14.2-inches, provides an excellent middle ground, although it's a shame the company didn't reconsider and offer a 15-inch model again.
