Stupid Q. How do i know what screen i have

[HBOC]

Ok, I ordered my MBP when the unibodies were released. I saved around $900. I paid $1699
I have a 2.5GHZ 15" with the 250GB 5400 rpm drive, 512 video card, 2 GB ram (have upgraded to 4 GB ram and 500GB HD). I wasn't able to add anything on to it.

I look in system profiler and it doesn't say anything about screen type. I looked on my box and also says nothing about the screen. I am just wondering. I know i sound like a tool asking, but i think it is matte, but not sure... Anyway i can find out?

Turn the brightness all the way down on your machine. Can you see your reflection?

• Yes- you have a glossy screen.
• No- you have a matte screen.

All pre-unibody MBPs had matte as default and glossy as BTO so it's probably matte

So the new ones, the matte is BTO?

I'm sure you meant the 2.53gHz, as the unibody 15" never came with a 2.5gHz processor. You can find specs on all Apple products with Mactracker.

Yes, only available on the high-resolution screen. $150 upgrade ($100 for high-res, $50 for anti-glare)
