I couldn't help but chuckle at that. How many people from MR do you think makes up the Mac community??? Come on dude, your post is complete nonsense. MR is not even 1/10th of 1% of Apple's user base. MR is largely made up of kids 12-18 years old that are geeks and just come here and post on their opinions which is generally made up of OCD posts all day. Apple's customer base that actually buy their Macs to USE could give a rats behind about coming here to voice their opinions about wanting matte screens, black colored Macbook Pros, certain model screens such as 9C8xxx or the latest and greatest GPU with SLI graphics. Apple would be out of business if they only had MR to answer to.

According to your post, if you don't care about the matte screen issue, then that would make you a 12-18 year old geek.
I actually bought my Mac to use for work and home. I care about having a matte screen. In fact, I am hoping that they have the matte screen option by the time I need to upgrade from the Mac I am currently typing on. Before I switched to a Mac, I had a PC with a glossy display (not even glass, which is more reflective) and it was a royal pain. Seriously, it gave me headaches. Plus it wasn't functional enough for what I do.
I also haven't seen anybody on here asking for the matte screen just because they want it. Most of the people asking for it are the people who need it for what they do.
Your opinion is rather narrow. You're starting to sound like Tallest Skil.
People aren't complaining for the sake of complaining. They are just asking Apple to give them a viable option for their needs. If they can do it for the 17" they can do it for the rest of the line.
I'm certainly not willing to pay more money for a bigger computer to lug around just for the matte screen.
