Nice! Great choice. After you've used a Mac for a while you'll understand why many of us are indeed as passionate about our computers as we are about our cars.
So true, so true... only by owning one for some rather long time can you really make an idea about what's what. (BMW and Apple or anything else).

Anyone have issues with Apple only releasing Glossy screen for its new Macbook/Macbook Pro line?
I've tested the Glossy screens - they are horrible. Deep blacks and rich colors Yes, but the glare and reflections - what a nightmare.

I've own 5 Apple laptops, including the 17" Macbook Pro I'm using now... Until Apple releases a matte screen, I won't be buying another Apple laptop.

since this is my first MAC, i haven't had the pleasure of experiencing a matte screen. but as far as the glossy screen, it's fine for me. i'd much prefer a more crisp monitor and a little glare vs. no glare and not so crisp monitor.
