I think I could live with that - I had to put a matte film on my 2008 MBP because the glare annoyed me. http://images.anandt...kPro/DSC_7440.jpg http://images.anandt...kPro/DSC_7465.jpg http://images.anandt...kPro/DSC_7464.jpg Edited by SpiceWare June 23, 2012, 03:37:30 PM EDT Expand All History
Post #359,462 by malraux 6/23/12 5:08:29 PM Reply	Summary of all the reviews: Hot piss that's a nice screen, lots faster/lighter/thinner than the other ones, shit the ports kind of suck, it's not upgradeable and it's damned expensive. From this review: I accept the fact that current mobile memory and storage form factors preclude the creation of the thinnest and lightest form factors. But I would like to see Apple push for the creation of industry standard storage and memory form factors that wouldnÂt hinder the design of notebooks like the Retina Display equipped Macbook Pro. Apple has already demonstrated that it has significant pull with component vendors, this should be possible. The motivation behind doing so is no different from the motivation driving the use of Retina Displays: for the betterment of the end user experience. Yep.

This guy brings up some interesting points. http://cruftbox.com/...hives/001655.html

Apple want it to be disposable, not upgradeable. - (static) - (6) - June 13, 2012, 08:54:50 PM EDT
