So i got one of the new macbook a few days ago and i love it except for one thing...the display. Its just not working for me, the viewing angle is bad and i find myself constantly moving my head to get that perfect angle. Also the new glass is very reflective even at the brightest setting and its distracting
I also happen to have an Air and the screen on the air is much better, i feel VERY comfortable using the Air's screen with no issues. Its not as refelective and the viewing angles arent bad at all.
Now i personally am not really a fan of the Air because its underpowered and overpriced. However, i cant get a macbook pro because its too big and heavy for me as a student and the macbook screen just isnt cutting it...i can 'live' with it but i'd rather not...my eyesight is going bad as it is.
So now i'm thinking of retuning my macbook and keeping the Air...then pick up an iMac later on to supplement. The Air works fine, no shutdowns...cuts through H.264 & Flash videos very well although the fan becomes annoying. Its decently fast (1.84/64SSD) and with a stripped down reinstall (if i can get it to work...remote install is kinda iffy) i'll be able to fit my 'core' files into the Air with little stress/sacrifice and keep the rest locked away in an external.
Sigh...why didn't Apple just put a freaking decent display in the MacBooks FFS!!. Honestly this company is starting to stress me out
