I just picked up my Black MacBook this morning... I LOVE the screen...
Now I want the glossy screen on my 17"!!!

Anyone near Ontario, CA that wants to trade a 17" matte for a 17" glossy? :) :)

I love this thing! The whites are SOOO white, and the blacks are SOOO black! Given, it sucks outside, but I can deal with it.

I keep hearing this but I don't see it. I took a Matte MacBook Pro and my new Glossy MBP out in the sun today and the Glossy was readable when adjusted to minimize glare while the matte was too washed out no matter the angle. Glossy for the win!

I think my issue was more that I was in a hammock chair and slowing rotating 360º, so the sun kept coming from behind.

So far my only complaint for the MacBook is that the edges are a bit sharp. Someday I may get bored enough to take it apart and see if I can put it back together and have the edges line up a bit better.
