Isnt that the 17?

By the size of the speakers, I'm going to say yes. If it is, this thread is part useless as we already know how the 17" AG option looks like. Sure the 15" will look pretty similar but I'm sure we all want to know what the 15" actually looks like without having to use our heads to to picture it.

the speakers and mouse pad are so small on 17 so thats why I thought it was
 
Wow, as someone shopping for a 13/15" MBP, I always ignore the 17" when I'm in the Apple Store and now I have finally seen one I'm suprised how ugly they are.

I mean wow, that's just horrible.

Also to answer the OP's question, one can only assume that the 15" AG option will look very similar the the 17". That is, it will have the silver bezel.

That there's the 17

...Did any of you actually read the OP? It's clearly the 17" model, they wanted to know if the 15" appears similar.

To answer his question, yes it will most likey look the same:

Important note:
The actual size of the display is the same (15-inch diagonal) on both models. The antiglare display has a silver frame (border) around the display.

So, until someone recieves a 15" AG (probably engadget) and takes pics... /thread

and yeah, they're pretty fugly.
 
One could have avoided making a new thread.

But yes, it is likely to be just as ugly.

Also, the OPs title and post are not the same, leading to the massive confusion.
 
I have a 17" anti glare display and I absolutely LOVE it.

Both the quality of the display and the aesthetics of the silver border. It keeps the classic look of the non unibody mbp combined with the new black keyboard + unibody which makes it look like a unibody hybrid.

I think it looks much more attractive overall than the black border. And I've been through the 15" glossy display last gen and this years model as well (well they look the same).

If I was aiming for a 15" mbp I'd grab that antiglare in a second! BUT the only reason keeping me away from the 15" is that it still uses a SATA-I controller (I know Apple released the 1.7 firmware to fix that issue but 3 weeks ago I did have the 15" 2.8GHz mbp and updated to the 1.7 firmware which rendered my mbp completely useless with 3rd party SATA-II hdds which freezes under osx). Oh and the 1440x900 seems a lil too low in resolution to me. My brother has a 15" Sager notebook with a 1680x1050 and it looks absolutely stunning and perfect.
 
I really don't understand why they went with the silver frame for the antiglare. The black frame is useful because it changes the way we see the colors etc on the display itself.
 
I wouldn't say it was useless. I think the OP was asking whether the 15" AG option would look the same as the 17", he just did it in a bad way.

This is exactly what I was asking for, e.g the first pictures of a 15" matte uMBP. Sadly someone has changed my original thread title.

Basically I want to see if the 15" matte is as ugly as the 17".

the glossy 17 looks just like the 15 only bigger. do you find the glossy 17 horrible too?
