Well, we got our event, and most of the MacBook Pro rumors panned out (MagSafe, a full array of ports, no more touchbar, decent webcam but without FaceID, etc).
Pretty impressive stuff, especially considering a single laptop can now drive three 6k displays (and a 4K TV) directly, which is right up my alley. I don’t even care about the notch, really.
