    Will Apple come out with a Matte option for the 15" standard-res MBP?

    Last year, when Apple released their new MacBook Pros in June, they only had a glossy version of the 15" model. Then in August, they came out with a matte version of the 15" model.

    Now this year, Apple came out with only a glossy version of the 15" standard resolution (1440x900) model. I'm wondering if the same thing as last year will happen again - will Apple come out with a matte version of the 15" standard resolution model in a few months?

    doh123 has a good point though. I don't necessary agree that they need to force people buying into a high res if they just want matte. Either way, if I ever get a Macbook Pro, I will endure the criticism from all of you and run a non-native resolution of 1280x800 on a 15" display (that's as high res as I can do. anything higher I will be blind).
