i am amazed by the screen on the new 13". while it is not an anti-glare screen, there is little or no glare. when it arrived yesterday the brightness was set at the factory i assume at full 100 percent bright. i moved it down to about half which is fine for my eyes. i've tested it with things behind me that usually reflect, with my own face. i took it outside in bright sun. hardly any glare and it stayed visible at the half brightness setting. and my eyes aint great. i know there are anti glare protective things for the air but as far as i'm concerned NO need.
