So I'm thinking of buying a new MacBook Pro, however, I'm frustrated with Apple's decision to only include a matte screen (anti-glare) exclusively for the expensive 17inch model. That would be around $3050 CAD + tax. A store that I know is selling last years 17-inch model, which is still glossy but not nearly as bad as the new screens. I believe the new screens have glass which makes them even more reflective. They are selling this model for $2500 + tax.
These are the specs for the New MacBook Pro 17-inch: Intel core 2 duo, 2.66 Ghz, 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM, 320 GB HD 5400rpm, NVIDIA GeForce 9400m+9600mGT with 256 mb. ($3050 +tax)
Here's the specs for the older 17-inch model: Intel core 2 Duo, 2.5ghz, 4GB DDR 2 RAM, 320 GB HD 5400 RPM, NVIDIA 8600 GT, 512 MB RAM GDDR3. ($2500 + tax)
Which is the better deal? or should I try to wait it out and hope that Apple comes out with new models soon with matte screen finish for 15-inch model.
I'd really appreciate some opinions and suggestions as I am thinking of purchasing one soon. Thanks!
