When Lauren and I were looking at new laptops for her, when we went to brick-and-mortar shops we were consistently chagrinned by the presence of “shiny” or “glossy” screened laptops. I looked at these laptops and could only snort in derision, knowing the obvious superiority of my matte finished Powerbook or my work thinkpad.
But with the new release of the MacBook, Apple has shoved a shiny, glossy knife between my scapulae.
