MBP owners, matte or glossy?

Thanks so much for the poll.

It helped a lot.

I think I am content with my 15", so I don't particularly *need* the matte screen. I mean, the glossy screen becomes an irritant if I am in direct sunlight or heavily lit environments, but not enough for me to be trying to switch it up or anything.

This has been asked many times before... But I won't upgrade my MacBook Pro (non-unibody) until they bring back the Matte option on the 15".

What if they don't. Will you never buy a macbook again?

glossy is fine indoors or without a bright light behind you. if you work with bright lights around you or outdoors matte is better. but you can train yourself to ignore glossy glares.

But I don't regret it. Colours look so much deeper, richer, more vivid. And with that black surround... so damn sexy.

Is it just me, or do any of you find it weird when people call their computers, hardware, phones, etc 'sexy'? I mean, I think laptops and phones that are designed well are nice to look at but definitely not 'sexy'. Women are sexy ,imo, not machines.

Anyways, I prefer matte..glare is terribly annoying.

That is correct. I'll stick with desktop computers instead, or have the LCD changed to a matte one.

I have a 15'' mid 2007 matte.

there's no way in hell i'm buying another apple laptop until they bring back a matte option on the 15''.

17'' is way too big (carrying to class and stuff) and I can't deal with glossy screens. the colors are all wrong and there's way too many reflections and glares.

+1 on reflections and fingerprints on glossy

+1 same for me. I'll never use a glossy screen. So the desktop computer won't be an iMac and won't use an Apple display.

well if you're carrying it to class - you probably don't need a MBP!

So what other matte Mac laptop do you recommend?

Would be even better if Apple actually put a decent panel inside (i.e. 8 bit not 6 bit.)

I had the matte on my old 15"
I'm really liking the glossy on my new MBP.
