[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1045406, member: 145676"] I've used both an antiglare and currently a glossy. I made a compromise on getting the glossy but now that I have it I like it. I am not sure I would go back to anti-glare. There is a reflection sometimes but the colors are great. I use my computer on the road - in airports, bright rooms, on planes with windows open - I have to say the reflection doesn't really bother me. But you have to go try it yourself. Many people still swear by anti-glare. As far as SSD and speed - for the price I would get the 500GB 7200 RPM drive and 8GB of RAM. That way you can keep more stuff open - and running. So initial startup would take a little longer but you could run more at once - and keep stuff running. You are talking $450 vs $1250 in addons. The real world use - you'd probably be running faster as you would have what you needed open and switch between them. Other than disk-write intensive operations - maybe like video editing and rendering - you will probably see better performance with more RAM. [/QUOTE]
