The main problem I have with reflections on a screen is that when I'm working on a project and have to make sure the colours are absolutely perfect, seamlessly blended together, reflections really get in the way then. <a href="http://www.apple.com/macbook/the-new-macbook/">It's pretty clear how reflective they are from the videos.</a> But for every day use, I wouldn't be bothered. The new(ish) LED back-lit displays do make a huge and very noticeable difference over the old cathode back-lit displays when it comes to colour clarity though, so that's a great improvement. Sure, the colours won't be quite as clear as the new 24-inch LED technology displays, but they'll be incredible for a laptop! The main difference this time around is graphics - so if you want to play games, and I know you do, you should absolutely take a look at upgrading! PS. My brother is not a furry pet you can adopt and carry around like Paris Hilton's chihuahua. He requires constant attention, being wined and dined in the finest restaurants, at least two homes in the center of the city (one of them must have a garden so he can run around, play and get some excercise), at least two-hours with a no-limit credit card in Selfridges a month... I think you better just leave him to his obscenely rich boyfriend. I think the screen you’ve got it slightly different to the ones on the current line of iMacs and the new Macbooks.

The screen you talk about is the sort I have on my Macbook 15" and although it does catch a reflection, I really must admit that it hasn't bothered me as much as you'd think. I haven't seen the new lineup but had hoped to upgrade this year however, since you mentioned there isn't that much of an improvement in the technology itself and that it's largely a make-over, I think I will hold back on the spending until you recommend something better. I know... feel honored! By the way... Apple architects don't understand the meaning of accessibility, do they? All those stairs...!! I dunno.
