Did the mid 2012 non-retina MBP 15 have a glassy hi-res screen option?

I see it listed every once in a while but I've never seen one in the flesh. Is it real or are people just bad at listing their wares?

This is for the non-retina MBP 15". 1680x1050 glossy. Was it a real BTO option?

Yes.

Also, did the standard 1440x900 come in an AG/matte option? Basically, if I see a 2012 MBP 15 with the 'white' aluminum bezel, does that without a doubt mean it's high res?

- No to the first, yes to the second.
The AG options were only offered in high-res.

Oh how I long for AG options for the rMBP...

Great, thanks!

So basically the non-retina 2012 models came 3 ways:

standard glossy 1440x900
Anti-glare hi-res 1680x1050
hi-res glossy 1680x1050 (this one I guess is really hard to tell from just photos, impossible if the display is off.)

- I'm still enjoying my 2011 AG.

- Yes. Same thing for the 2011 and 2010 models.

Yeah I upgraded to the 2012 model for that very reason. Still a fast machine. I also like having a second HD inside the machine. I kinda hate thunderbolt, it messed everything up and forced a move to EVERYTHING EXTERNAL!!!
