Glossy or not, that is my question

So in the near future I plan on upgrading my trusty old Titanium PowerBook G4 to a new MacBook Pro. These machines are amazing and a total work house. My only question is about the glossy screen option. Does anyone have any experience with this from a photographic and design point of view?


On the Apple site they describe it like this

Finishing coat.
MacBook Pro offers an antiglare widescreen display that’s perfect for color-minded professionals. For a more immersive viewing experience, you can configure the MacBook Pro display with a glossy finish. This gives everything you see a richer, more saturated feel.

That sounds nice but when I went to the store the other day and check them out side by side the glossy one just looked cheap to me and didn't seem as sharp. They are the same price so money is not he issue, I want to get what's best for editing photos and doing design work. Any advice would be much appreciated.

The New Mac OS X

I don't know if anyone else is following Apple's newest Mac OS "Leopard" or not but just in case your not as big of an Apple fanboy as I am and didn't know. It's going to be out next Friday the 26th. There are some pretty huge new features coming with it. I think the biggest is one called Time Machine
. It lets you go back in time and recover almost anything that has ever been deleted from your Mac. And it also will automate your backup process for your entire machine, not only some files. This feature alone could save a lot of trouble over lost or deleted files. So here is a link to Apples page about the 300+ new features, check it out.
