Nano-texture option for the display is nice. IIRC it's the first time since the 2012 15" MBP that a matte option has been offered?
I hope that the response times have improved, because it has been quite poor for a 120 Hz panel.
- ant6n 2y agoThey brought back the matte screen! Omg. The question is, will they have that for the air. (I tend to feel if you want something specialized, you gotta pay for the expensive model)
- pcdoodle 2y agoYes. It's finally back.

- lapcat 2y agoCorrection: I think I actually misremembered that, sorry!
- Eric_WVGG 2y agoLove the nano-texture on the Studio Display, but my MacBooks have always suffered from finger oil rubbing the screen from the keys. Fingerprint oil on nano-texture sounds like a recipe for disaster. For my current laptop, I finally broke down and bought a tempered glass screen protector. It adds a bit of glare, but wipes clean — and for the first time I have a one-year-old MacBook that still looks as good as new.
- jonah 2y agoI put a thin screen cleaner/glasses cleaner cloth on the keyboard whenever I close the lid. That keeps the oils off the screen as well as prevents any pressure or rubbing from damaging the glass.
- Eric_WVGG 2y agoI tried that, unfortunately didn't work for me at all.
- sroussey 2y agoThe iPad has nano texture and I find it does a much better job with oily fingerprints.
- jhickok 2y agoMy one concern is that nano-texture apple displays are a little more sensitive to damage, and even being super careful with my MBPs I get the little marks from the keyboard when you carry the laptop with your hand squeezing the lid and bottom (a natural carry motion).
- coolspot 2y agoPut a facial tissue over keyboard before closing the lid.
- mattlondon 2y agoMacs - they just work.
- coolspot 2y agoHaha, yeah, but it applies to all laptops really. Keys inevitably scratch the display.
- mattlondon 2y agoI've never had this happen to me and I've been using laptops exclusively for about 15 years now.

- brailsafe 2y agoA piece of paper also kind of works, but it's a bit ridiculous to constantly keep that around with you and try to reach 95% consistency. Eventually I stopped trying because it was just more infrastructure to protect the thing than I'd prefer.
- thom 2y agoIt's also on the iPad Pro. Only downside is you really do need the right cloth to be able to clean it.
- School-Cotton 2y agoI believe the laptop ships with the cloth. That said, it is annoying to have to remember to always keep that one cloth with your laptop.
