New to Macbooks...

[cfs]

Just wondering,

When the screen is set on the lowest brightness setting (meaning one box highlighted with white) is the screen almost black on Macbooks?

On mine its dim but not near ''almost black''

When its on 0 brightness (no white boxes) the screen is black

1 box is dark but still bright enough to view (on low light anyway), I wouldn't say it's 'almost black' though...

and yeah, no boxes = black

When there's 0 boxes, the screen is black but you can still see your desktop if you tilt the screen certain ways, or if it's bright outside.

1 box is bright enough for me to use it on that setting 95% of the time, it's nowhere near black.

yeahh same here...if i don't have my charger (like today i forgot to bring it to a meeting) i put it on one box and gives me like close to 6 hours of battery which is hard to believe but its true. And its really bright enough unless theres sunlight giving you a glare.

Yes and if you go all the way dim the screen is black, which I love this feature. Especially when listening to music etc.... Why wear the screen out when ya don't have to? I wish my iMac would do that!

you can also just turn of the screen with shift-ctrl-eject..
