Hi all,
I've been using my girlfirends White MacBook 2.0Ghz model (when she's not been using it) for the past two years now, and I think it's time to take the plunge and by my own
In lots of ways the MacBook is a fantastic device, but one thing I found particularly annoying was the sharpness of the screen. My mine gripe was reading internet pages with lots of text. I turned of anti-aliaising for fonts under pt12 and this helped on the desktop, but not on the web. I found myself increasing fonts sizes in application just to see them properly. Conversely my Dell work laptop has 15.4" screen and runs 1920x1080 with pin sharp text.
Watching the videos on the Apple site they talk about new LCD screens for the MB and MBA, yet spending 30 mins in PC World the other day playing with both of them, I couldn't detect any discernable difference in the sharpness from my current MacBook.
In fact, my vision was clarified when I set eyes on a MBP with non-glossy screen, that was very impressive! And the new gen MBP with glossy screen was equally amazing.
So my question is, have there been any chances to the screen in the new MB and MBA ?
Currently I'm thinking I will buy one of the outgoing MBP models with non-glossy screen (also at a nicely discounted price), because for the number of hours I will look at it, screen quality is paramount.
