One thing that I miss in my MBP is the look of screen, even though the MBA screen resolution is better I hate the Aluminum edges/boundaries, Black Glossy Edges looks a lot better, are there any skins to cover the Aluminum on the MBA screen?

I was expecting this for quite a while but I suppose it won't happen anytime soon. Maybe the next generation will have it, now that Apple builds these laminated screens. Who knows.

I totally agree with you, the black outline also looks better to me, unfortunately I dont think there is anything on the market that does it, but you could always make one yourself and get it printed as a sticker, pretty sure theres services for that.

This is the only black bezel sticker I have managed to find, but supposedly they won't ship to the USA...

The look doesn't bother me as much as the lost screen real state taken by a thick bezel. The saving grace is that thin black gasket that surrounds it and the stealth (cool!) FaceTime status light.

I'm on the other side - I love the look of the aluminum trim. It's high end and classy. I think it's because I used to have multiple MBPs with hi-res anti-glare screens and that's a pretty sweet premium over the standard MBP and signifies it's the high end model.

The bezel doesn't 'take' any real estate away from the screen. A larger screen simply wouldn't work in the same housing.
