I was just wondering if the MacBook Pro unibody 15 inch with the antiglare high resolution display had thinner bezels than the standard glossy display. I was thinking of upgrading my glossy display to antiglare since I don't have the money for a brand new machine so I may as well try to get the best out of my current one. The unibody screens are pretty much all trash unless you have the antiglare, and I know it has an antiglare coating and aluminum bezels. But the unibody MacBook pros still look pretty modern today, however thinner bezels would give it an even MORE modern look. I do know the silver bezels will make it look older though, as all recent macbook pros have glossy displays so the glossy display on the unibody blends in more. And to the untrained eye might even pass as a newer macbook pro.
 
You can only get thinner bezels by shrinking the computer's footprint, or putting in a larger screen, neither of which occured between glossy/matte machines when they were available.
