I wonder if they new iMac will sport any major cosmetic changes though... LOL.

LOL! My next move is the next release of the iMac, which should be in 09 some time from what I've heard. No more laptops for me. I'm not trying to have the option of WORKING on the fly, when I'm gone...I'm GONE. lol! MK, consider getting a desktop Mac and kill your PC for good bro.

The glossy screen really isn't that bad at all you really don't notice it until you get in a randomly lit area even then it isn't so bad. The Trackpad is much more of an annoyance than the glossy screen. It’s sluggish sometimes. Like I think it gets confused like it can't tell the difference between a thumb laid on its side and a two fingers bunched together mixed with various gestures. It’s weird though because not everybody is having this problem. The Apple forums make it seem like it has something to do with the new NVIDIA graphics chips. Not sure about third party solutions, but i'm sure someone could make a non-adherent matte film that you could stick to the glass. And for the mouse, all you'd need is a sticker strip to block out the bottom of the track pad so it doesn't react to movements where you click. Problems solved. Sucks that Apple didn't do enough market research/testing with the mouse. @D. LOL

I actually prefer matte displays--hate the fact that Apple didn't give us an option this time around--but because I'm so enthralled by the design of the new MBPs overall, I may just bury my complaints and go glossy in the end. Not sure how true this is, but I've heard that there may be some 3rd party solutions for the screen glare--screen filters or something along those lines--seen anything like this? Decision, decisions…

BUT the new Macbook Pros don’t come with the Matte vs. Gloss option anymore. The glossy isn't so bad, until you open it up in a room full of of bright/photography type lights. I rarely see a reflection on mine. When I do, all I have to do is turn the screen brightness up and pretty much goes away. But if I had a choice I would have definitely taken the matte route. The glossiness serves no purpose for me. But I bet it helps Apple pull in PC people. Matte dude. MATTE.
