Looking back I think the optical drive was the first thing to falter on every Mac I've had for the last couple decades. I also refrain from buying TVs with DVD or Blu-ray players built in. Also like audio in components.
Justin is pretty close above. Not sure what I'm suppose to offically know or say, but if you want more info ping me. And if you want a glimpse head over to Judy's site and select This Week/Tuesday. "Big Trouble."
As uneven lighting as that last line and single edge is, it's probably optically more uniform than any other current nighttime solution (including a real book and bedside lamp/book clip light), no? Well, maybe not LCDs burned into your eyes, but that creates its own optical effects.
Same situation here. My 2nd gen Kindle never got used as much as a should because of the lack of an acceptable night lighting solution. Trouble is though an eInk fan too, also a Longform/Longreads addict, so jumping between devices.
Wasn't even the most disappointing Apple launch day of the last couple of months for me.
Do find it a bit sneaky, though probably marketing 101, that Apple uses ppi when it's to its advantage and screen size when that's the plus.
Still will be curious to see/handle iPad mini and new MBP in real-life.
