I think it was ok. I don't see too much of a problem anyway since that's where the status bar sits anyway and I don't have anything by that area. And I often run it on an external display anyway. So, no biggie. But I don't know why Apple decided to not put FaceID into it considering they are doing the notch.

Ordered a 14" M1Max with 64GB of ram to replace my 2016 MBP after 5yrs. It has been a dog trying to edit 4k videos, which I'm doing more and more stuff on that format as I used to just do 1080p. It literally cannot drive 4k videos without stuttering every so often in FCP. So much so that I'm doing editing works by borrowing my wife's M1 MBA where it can actually run without stuttering.

But kudos to Apple that the 5yrs has been flawless other than hardware starting to show their age with heavy stuff. Oh, and the battery bulged, which was fixed under Applecare+ almost at the end of it (1mth to expire), and got a brand new battery and bottom cover, everything has been flawless. Definitely got my money worth on this MBP.
