They should sell it as some kind of portable bathroom mirror with apps. Or bundle the thing with some Gillette razors or something.
When in front of a mate and a glare screen I know of no one that prefers the glare one.
- LeonM 11y agoTry spending 2.5k on two of their not-even-4k thunderbolt mirrors, suddenly you really start to admire those sunlight blocking ikea curtains in your office...
- pc86 11y agoI'm not trying to start a flame way, but can anyone give me a good reason why you'd buy one of their cinema displays? They seem like they're too expensive at even half the price compared to what else is available.
- culturestate 11y agoThey were a far better value proposition 4-5 years ago than they are today; back then, they were only marginally more expensive than e.g. a comparable Dell IPS display. The build quality, docking functionality, and built-in charging facilities -- no more lugging your power adapter to the office! -- more than made up for the price difference. The only legitimate reason to buy one today is aesthetics: they're still far and away the best looking desktop monitor on the market, but that's not enough to warrant the price tag.
- ghaff 11y agoGlossy screens aren't really limited to Apple. They're sort of a thing these days and I do have mixed feelings about them--although I'm also sort of resigned to them at this point. They can be really crisp and bright under the right lighting conditions but, at the moment, I'm sitting in a room with a lot of windows on a bright day admiring every fingerprint and smudge on my screen.
- hollerith 11y agomatte screens are harder to clean, which is a big deal on a touchscreen.
- pilsetnieks 11y agoAlso, you cannot have a matte glass screen, so you'd have to use plastic which is nigh unusable as a touchscreen.
