I am thinking about purchasing an updated MBP, and I was wondering if the matte screens command higher resale value?

I am not too picky about which screen I get (i think the black border looks a lot better but the matte screens are more viewable). However, since the matte screens are BTO option and are not that common, I was thinking it might command a higher resale value in one year. However, it could also negatively affect the resale value.

Is there a resale arbitrage opportunity on the matte screen option?


Just for the record, I am not buying now just to resale later, but I need a laptop now and foresee switching to an iMac + 11" MBA in around a year.
