I would guess that the glossy screen is necessary for the construction of the computer. Is glass-and-matte possible? (I'm not knowledgeable here; I might be wrong.)
- alaskamiller 18y agoNo Apple just has a hardon for glossy.
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoThe slides say that the screen overlay goes edge-to-edge and is glass. So I'd say that matte is not an option because the screen is behind a glass panel.
- unalone 18y agoAh. So matte is something that goes over a screen? In that case, yeah: what you said makes sense. I like the glass-over-everything aesthetic: it unifies everything. And losing matte is a shame, but I'll reserve criticism until I see the new Macbooks in action. If the screen really is bright enough to cancel out overbearing glare, then I'll forgive Apple for this. If not... then I'll just hope they have some revolutionary anti-glare thingie coming out soon.

My guess is that they could, at the very least they could just add a matte coating. Also, they claim that the track pad is glass, and it certainly isn't shiny, though how an LCD would look through it I'm not 100% sure.
- Prrometheus 18y agoI won't use a glossy screen. If all Mac offers is glossy, then I won't use Mac. This is why I didn't get a Dell Ubuntu laptop.
- pmorici 18y agoThen buy a 17 inch MacbookPro... There was no mention of discontinuing those.
