Great move by Apple so everyone doesn't have to suffer with a MirrorBook Pro. Glass is the last thing I want my monitor covered it - sure it's easy to clean but a lot easier to crack/smudge).
On a side note - regardless of what ANY forum members tell you updates came happen at ANY time. "Will WWDC bring new MacBook Pros?" and the most popular response was "NO - the updated them in Oct and WWDC is about software". That response was given by over 45 MacRumors members that were SO sure - and they were wrong.

high res
only thing missing is the higher res an thinner bezel of the 17 inch. If you're with me on the former, pick here:

so what if you want glossy and not glassy or matte
...and here we go
I think people need to see some comparisons before they shell out $50 for this.
Who knows, maybe the matte screen will be horrible.
Matte option is awesome, paying another $50 is alright but not great.
I wish they kept the black border though. That goes well with the black keyboard and ruins the aesthetic a bit for me, so much so it might be a deal breaker
But good work Apple. You listened to mass complaints!

I doubt it can be more horrible than the glassy ones.
It should be easy for the 13" MBP, just use the MBA's display. Even though it's glossy, it doesn't have the glare of the glass so it could be called anti-glare.

The 17" anti-glare screen looks great, why wouldn't the 15?
Yea im aware of those, but now that Apple offers it, meaning more available spare parts?
Matte option available now in Japan for 5,460 Yen (about $57, varying with the constantly changing $-Yen exchange rate, 94-95 yen/$).
Great to have the option, but I would need to see it in person first.

This makes me so happy. When the 17-inch unibody Macbook Pro was announced I said I wanted that computer, only 15 inches: built-in long-life battery and matte screen, but smaller. I never expected them to actually deliver.
A few months ago, the 15" MBP (non SD) had a great screen, but the 13" uMB didn't.
Sometimes you never know.
