Original at Wired external link    Fri, Aug 21

By Brian X. Chen See Also: If looks were all that mattered, HP’s Mini 5101 would’ve been a 10. But alas, bumpy QuickTime video playback and a just-OK battery life knocked the Mini 5101 to a 6 in our ratings. Here’s a snippet from our review: We love the matte, full-sized keyboard — soft on the fingertips, but ju...

Rate Apple reinstates matte display option on 15-inch MacBook Pro, charges $50 for it

Original at Engadget external link    Tue, Aug 11

By Darren Murph We'd heard just under a month ago that Apple was mulling the possibility of adding matte display options to more than just its flagship 17-inch MacBook Pro, and lo and behold, it seems the anti-glare revolution has begun. Starting now (like, right now), those in the market for a new unibody...

Rate Review: Toshiba Portege A600

Original at ZDNet.com.au external link    Tue, Dec 2

By edit@zdnet.com.au (Alex Serpo) One thing which is not tacky is the 12.1-inch matte display. Crisp (60Hz), bright (200-nit) and at a native resolution of 1,280x800 (WXGA), it's a high resolution for its size. On top of the display is the obligatory webcam. Our system came equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 at 1.4GHz and 2G...

(I bought a matte-finish display for my MacBook Pro back in March, so don’t shoot the messenger.) In the new (aluminum) MacBook lineup, there are only two standard configurations: $12...

By Jason Chen • It's essentially a MacBook. They've taken a Core 2 Duo MacBook with Leopard, replaced the standard screen with a Wacom Penabled Digitizer and even stuck a GPS inside. • The screen is bright, but matte (not glossy like the new MacBook Pro models), so images are a bit fuzzier than my MacBook Pr...

Rate New Macbook Pro Review (Verdict: Penryn + LEDs = Efficiency)

Original at Gizmodo external link    Thu, Feb 28

By Christopher Mascari Screen One thing to note though is that the LED matte screen on the version we got was less bright than the glossy screen on the MacBook Air. This might be the matte vs. glossy difference, or it might be that the MacBook Air's screen is just brighter.
