Apple Offers Anti-Glare on 15″ Macbook Pro

The Macbook screen too shiny for you? Well you can go matte again!

Two years ago, Apple decided that anti-glare screens weren’t edgy and hip enough for the average consumer and decided to forgo anti-glare matte displays in favor of glass-enclosed glossy screens.  However, 2 months ago, Apple Insider reported that Apple may be considering the possibility that they could maybe/possibly/somehow be wrong.

The glossy transition was jump-started by iPhone. Because of its glass screen and black borders, customers reacted very positively – this led Apple to extend this trend to the iMacs in a move to standardize their family of materials. This by itself would have been fine because despite its inherent problems, the glossy screen can provide richer, brighter colors, darker blacks and are generally easier to clean however upon completion of the transition, Apple further pushed the envelope by removing the matte option entirely except for the more expensive 17″ Macbook Pro.

The change happened just last week so if you’re looking for a new Mac then wander over here to check that out. It’ll cost you an extra HK$390. We like the glossy screen because it protects us from ninja sneak attacks.
