2 Month old MacBook Pro Late 2011 - AntiGlare upgrade at apple store?

[thundersteele]

FWIW, the 2 Apple stores in Charlotte NC carry the highest end 15" in antiglare. That's the 2.5ghz, 750gb @ 7200 rpm, hires AG for over $2,600.

Yep. That's why I said that they don't have the base model with anti-glare upgrade. They just sell the fully upgraded model with AG display.

Since the OP has the 2.2 GHz base model, he would face an extra of $800 if the shop would exchange his laptop for the anti-glare stock model. That is, without charging him anything for trading in a used machine!

Well tomorrow is D-day. I was also questioning that too, the fact that they don't stock the base model with antiglare? On the phone I gave my serial number to the Genius and they said subject to the managers discretion they may be able to swap it out?

How likely is this?

So what happened?

So what happened?

I'm contractually obliged not to say, but let's leave it as Apple had made me, "very happy"

Many thanks for everyone that helped out.
