    screen question; glossy or matte?
    Hey,
    I have a question about what type of screen I have because I was recently reading a discussion who hate the glossy screen because of the glare. I can't tell the difference, so I wanted to ask.
    I bought a black macbook in august and I had no screen choice
    Is my screen glossy or matte?
    lol im so dumb

    Thanks

    I believe all Macbooks have the gloss screen.

    Matte was an option only on the MacBook Pro notebooks.
    I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth.
    In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus.
