Matte screens are better for content production, as they are truer to life in color and have less glare and annoyance.

Glossy screens have. Oh the hell with it. DEATH TO GLOSS]]>Jan 9th 2009 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/
1. I am slowly getting sick of Apple's cockyness, about that they have the best this and that, Über-Godness of anything they've done, even if it has been invented before. The Mac vs. PC commercials are one good example.
2. You cannot update the HW on almost any Mac. My next computer will probably be a netbook, they look like fun and i like gadgets, but my next computer i will build myself, from scrap. Now i can't do that with Mac. I want to be able to change the CPU, the GPU, HDD's, you name it, in the future, it's part of the fun!
3. Apple fanboys..., whoa, they are something else i tell you. Check out sometimes the comments on Appleinsider, they are scary people, they'll rip your head off if you say a wrong word about Apple, *shivers*
4. Windows 7, i'm actually quite excited about it and i have read a lot of, actually only, positive news about it!! Sweet! Nice with a change and to hear something nice about MS after all the bashing
5. PC's are getting really good looking too these days!! I have seen many computers that look sexy and have this "wanna-buy" factor, not Apple's privilege (spelling?) anymore.

Copying this or that, so what, it's the complete package that counts, and e.g. Dell has shown on CES some really new fresh winds. Exciting times ahead:-) ]]>Jan 9th 2009 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/
I think it's time for people to realize that all computer manufacturers enter into compromises, rather than pulling some features just for the heck of it. Particularly when it comes to laptops where size is at a premium. Apple is just ahead of the curve when choosing which compromises to make. Like 40% more battery life vs. user-replaceable battery.]]>Jan 9th 2009 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/
Wow you epic fail right there, good luck making friends on this site with that attitude. Truer color, no glare, the ONLY reason Glossy is around is because n00bs like yourself dont know how to properly clean a matter screen (with proper cloth and ion'ized or safe cleaner), and so they made a glossy screen so dumbasses like you can use windex . Fail be you.]]>Jan 9th 2009 8:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/

it's sad when people keep these squabbles going, but even worse when there's name calling involved. first off...i don't know why you got all riled up about the ease of cleaning? i re-read my post, and saw that what you said was completely irrelevant. but just for your info, i'm not a 'n00b'...in fact quite the opposite, i've only needed to clean my laptop screens about 3 times in the past 4 years because i try not to spit on them and touch them with my fingers like a real n00b.

the point i wanted to get across, ProfessorKaos, is that we should let bygones be bygones, and if people like glossy/matte, then so be it. i think reviewers need to do the same thing because they end up just pandering to the audience. let's be civilized about these things.]]>Jan 10th 2009 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/
Honestly, it looks to me like you're the one won't "let it be". Let engadget commenters and reviewers speak freely. There's nothing wrong with expressing negative opinions of glossy screens, whether those opinions came from first impressions or 4 years of experience.

My two cents - I used a glossy-screened laptop for a couple years as a student. The glare in some classrooms made it difficult to see some areas of the screen; I'd have to tilt the screen to an angle that was less comfortable in order to see entire documents clearly. The screen's backlight was weak, which was part of the problem. For most situations, the gloss was no problem though.]]>Jan 11th 2009 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/
Actually there is a lot inside... Anandtech also has a hands-on article and they show it turned on...they can't say what's inside though, as it's still under NDA..they did say though, that it will not be a netbook-like device, i.e. expect high performance and price for the size.

Also, judging by Anand's pics, the screen looks to be of an excellent resolution for a 13.3".]]>Jan 9th 2009 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Now that was pretty, And it would give the likes of Apple some pressure in the design stakes.]]>Jan 9th 2009 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 11th 2009 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/Jan 9th 2009 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/dell-adamo-hands-on/
