I've yet to use a laptop that had a bright enough display to deal with full sun anyway (as stated above). However, I understand the gripe from professionals, and I'd prefer matte too. But hey, I also prefer the older 4:3 display ratio instead of this widescreen crap. Heck, I'd prefer a square display. I guess some god of all laptop design decided that all people do on laptops is watch movies, thus the widescreen and glossy display. :dunno:

Oh, and I wouldn't pay the extra for the unibody macs, especially since I've seen the previous style, in 2ghz version, going for less than $800 these days. I think (other than the wrist slashing palmrest) they're great.
