Interesting how you're questioning how to look for such defects in one thread and telling us to stop bitching in another. How entertaining this must be.I don't know why everyone is hating on the Macbook display. The macbook is positioned as an entry level notebook for Apple. Of course it will not have the same display as the MBA or MBP as those two computers have a higher pricepoint than the macbooks.
If you look at the last gen MB as compared to the new MBs, the displays are roughly the same. The newer generation has a brighter screen.
If you want firewire and a better screen - go with the Pro. Simple as that.
Now shut up already and just enjoy your machine. If blacks aren't truly black, life still goes on.
A smaller viewing angle is also better for use on the airplane as prying eyes will have a harder time reading the documents on your screen etc. So there may be an underlying benefit afterall.
Just quit crying like little schoolgirls already. If you hate the screen, then return the product. End of story. There are many customers who have bought the new macbooks who have no complaints. For example, jon4lakers who is a tech guru on youtube loves his new 2.4 macbook and he came from a MBP. That should give everyone some perpsective.
For those saying "get the pro" really? You'd spend the additional money to watch a DVD? I'd question your sanity.
I've said it over and over again. The MB for me was not meant to do any heavy lifting. I have a pro machine sitting on my floor and it's working perfectly. If watching a DVD on a plane or just in my house is a "pro" function then I am uber pro!
