I can't speak for the GP, and I don't consider it a deal-breaker as they apparently do (my laptop is a Macbook Air), but yes, I really would like a matte screen! For all of Apple's engineering, matte screens are still far clearer in sunlight. The colors aren't quite as good, which is a shame, but I'll take the lack of reflections.
