You’ve got it backwards. Black is black on glossy. Black is gray on matte. Apple uses, glossy, not any significant anti-glare.
It's cool. But I'm going to stick to my apple ecosystem 
It's kinda silly do identify yourself with a brand, innit?
Maybe judge a too on it's merit?
I have a Mac Studio and a gaming rig PC that's a couple years old. I sold my M1 Macbook Pro awhile back since I wasn't using it nearly as much as I'd like. I promised myself that the gaming rig would be last PC I ever owned unless Windows blows me away somehow. Ever since my Great Microphone Disaster of 2022, I've been a bit bitter towards Microsoft. It is a stupid reason, I know, but I'm still a bit miffed.
Windows 11 isn't bad, it is...just kind of odd. Some of their windows have been updated with the new style, and some haven't, particularly some of the older, less used settings windows. I'm still not sold on the initial settings "panel" they have, and I might be a tad more critical of Windows than macOS lately. At least I can admit I'm still bitter.
Maybe Windows 12 will be better.

Asymmetrical offset trackpad 🤮😵💫🥴💩 …this leftie says, “no!”
The off-centre touchpad is the compromise with such a keyboard with numpad. Design may not look as nice but the numpad is incredibly useful for some people.
The good thing about Windows laptops is you can choose to buy laptops with or without that numpad since there are so many manufacturers.

That will be the Windows where you can't put your laptop in a bag whilst in sleep mode because it risks overheating?
This is something that always bothers me when even considering non-Apple hardware. Apple has by far the best anti-glare coatings in the industry. Even Surface hardware is as glossy as MacBook Pros from 2010.
Is it weird that MacRumors is an affiliate of Samsung? I wonder if SamsungGrapevine is an Apple affiliate? 🤔
Is anyone else having the issue where the Storage Upgrade Promo isn't applying? It was applying when I looked yesterday.
It’s quite nice. The ooff centre track pad is, AIUI, to make the trackpad easier for right-handed users, somewhat at the expense of left handed users.
Two TB4s and a USB 3.2. Ok but three TB4s is better. Micro sd card slot rather than full sized SD - am I missing something, isn’t that quite a limitation?
Good GPU, and games / graphics APIs to use it. Does anyone know how it compares with Apple silicon gpu in M2 Max? I’d expect nvidia to be a bit better, and enjoy wider support, but I’m not sure.
I'm sure the news article said it was convertible but I couldn’t see anything about that on Samsung’s product page. Convertsbility would be a good addition to Apples laptops.
