Apple was one of the last holdouts. They were shipping matte and 4:3 laptops until relatively recently.
Reflective screens are the biggest shame. They’re worse but they sell better. For a while 4:3 looked “old fashioned.”
Turns out that a tall form factor works for phones, but thankfully most manufactutors relize that tablets should be 4:3 or close to it.
- tjoff 9y agoI thought they were among the very first to abandon matte and 4:3, what models are you thinking of?
- bartread 9y agoI've bought two MBPs in recent years: in December 2011, and again in August 2015. The first time around you could definitely get the matte screen, although unfortunately only with an ugly grey bezel. Not so sure about 2015 though.
