This is why people associate idiocy with Apple ownership. There is NO benefit to a glossy screen. They are not brighter, not higher res, don’t display more colors; they don’t do anything better than a matte screen other than reflect ungodly amounts of light back into your eyes.

The fact that they are charging $50 for a feature that should have been standard is, well, standard Apple practice.

It has bothered me none, and I use it outdoors on a daily basis (uni cramming and what not).

In fact it was most probably the glossy screen that had me sold when I was shopping around for a laptop.
