Is ANYONE satisfied with their Matte C2D MBP?

so far, so good. (knock on wood)

Mine has a hint of uneven screen backlighting. But it is 100x times than the last gen PowerBook I have, so I consider myself lucky in the "Apple Crappy Laptop Quality Lottery."

Other than that minor issue--and it is not bad enough for me to be angry about, unlike the PB screen--everything seems OK. And the speed, oh, the speed...
 
From what I can see, there seem to be FAR less issues with the C2D ones than there were with the CD ones. I have a Matte CD (not C2D), and it is the best computer I've owned. Speed wise, runs in circles around my 'on paper not that different' Dell, and of course it runs a vastly superior operating system...
 
Go for glossy ;) When comparing it to my Powerbook it's so much more impressive... When I played World of Warcraft on my new C2D with all setting to max, I was sooo impressed... All the animations look so cool, the colors are really shining... Glossy 4ever ;-)
 
My MBP is matte. I compared it to my friend's glossy MB and I am happy to say the matte is better (for me). Light reflection is higher in the glossy screen. I've never noticed any glare in the matte. The MB colors are much brighter.
 
mine is flawless ...

It seems as if every matte owner is returning their C2D MBP, or is not satisfied with it. Are these issues widespread or localized? Should all potential matte buyers steer clear?

and I'm very particular about even tiny defects ...

Microsoft called and needs you to return in time for the release of Vista and to resuscitate the piece of (insert favorite disparaging phrase here) Zoon!

And Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends.:)

Only if you feel like being troll fodder.

You know when people photoshop up 'new' mac hardware to start rumours? Well there is a similar buzz to be had with telling people who are really enjoying a new toy that said toy is actually a heap of crap and they could have spent their money more wisely elsewhere.

There are also the type of people who so desperately want a 'good' machine that they will suspend reason and opt for group reassurance from anywhere and anyone. This is where trolls find cheap but still rather amusing pickings.

If you want anything but reassurance for spending a ton of money then you really have to take a more scientific approach.

Now and again we see examples of hardware that get through quality control, these are usually well documented in a 'reliable' manner.

I rationalise this by comparing hardware prices and seeing what Apple is competing with these days. Things will be wrong sometimes. We really would have supply and value issues if every MBP was 100% without doubt perfect.

If it makes you feel any better and perhaps allows you to start thinking 'scientifically' rather than 'emotionally' then I'll have to admit that every time I spend a ton of money on 'Toys' I feel very guilty.

Hope that helps you through the 'data' we're being presented with.
