There's three types of screen:
Glassy - what you get on the 13" MacBook Pro, default on the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro, iMac and 27" Cinema Display. Essentially a glossy display with a sheet of glass over it.
Glossy - what you get on the 11" and 13" MacBook Air. Standard glossy screen, with no glass over the front.
Antiglare - custom option on the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro. Standard matte display (with no glass over the front obviously).
Thats pretty cool i knew there was a difference in the MBA vs MBP, i saw that for myself at the PX here but didnt think anything of it. No way am i going to get a MBA, so I am left with the 2 options on the MBP.
Also i have already seen those images and they are pretty good, but i was hoping for more without a big sun window in the roof and different lighting/viewing angles of both together. I did manage to find one but have no clue where it went or i would post it. It was a glassy MBP indoors, one window and most the pictures were taken away from it. Still such a tough decision.
Just go and compare yourself.
I would love to but i can't. If i wait until i go home on r&r for 2 weeks they might have to order it for me with the options i want (256gb ssd, 2.3ghz i7, and most likely the matte screen) plus my ram upgrade i will be installing myself. I don't have time for that, and need to do as much work to get my MBP ready for the rest of my deployment as i can in those 2 weeks (among many other unholy things
)... so many movies to download, so much music, pictures, updating, as much stuff as you can possibly imagine or do on a daily basis is next to impossible where i am currently (and internet we pay for by the GB at a ridiculous cost.. in Bahraini Dinar) not to mention my amazing speed of a couple kbps maybe a jump to 30 kbps every 30 minutes for no more than a couple seconds. makes simple things impossible. plus i need to install windows and a couple games for my "off" time, when i do get it. thats all i can think of now but i know there is more...
so if your still reading thanks for the pics but you are right. i need to see them both. sigh. honestly though, if i buy the matte one and use it while im home (and back everything up on my hard drive.. my new one that i have to put all the stuff i talked about above on) would i be able to send it back or replace it if i don't like the screen (i will have the apple care too) for the other option?
i know all this is waaay off topic and in the wrong thread but i just dont know where to start,
so i started here asking for pics.
