that they are

I'd planned on a 17" Mac Book Pro, but the reality is I don't travel as much, and now that I have an iPad I'd probably take it instead, so an iMac might be a better buy. I do find the lack of a matte option to be a big issue though. * My 16 year old nephew wants to play StarCraft 2 and I told him I'd sell him my late 2008 MBP for $500. I'm not buying a new system this year if he doesn't buy it.

I don't know how good their prices are when selling stuff to them. http://sellers.macof...s.com/sellers.asp On the glossy screen, I haven't tried it myself, but there are places that sell "screen protector" films for iMacs. If that was the only thing holding you back, it might be worth the $30 or so. I did fairly well putting one on our iPad, but had a terrible time with a much smaller film on a recent smart-phone for my mom, so it's hit-or-miss even if you get a high quality plastic. Steve doesn't seem to be changing his mind about rarely offering non-glossy screens any time soon. :-( FWIW. :-) Cheers, Scott.

I have a film from Photodon on my MBP. Works fairly well, though not as good as if the matte were built in. Before I put it on, I moved both of my air cleaners into my office and let them run overnight. Worked well to eliminate dust. http://www.photodon.com/ I'm also open to getting a Mac Pro so I can supply my own display - though I don't consider that an option until after they've upgraded them with Thunderbolt. Per MacRumors the next MP is about a month overdue (based on average days between updates). http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/
