    Anyone notice that you cant get the 1520 with an Anti-glare/non-glossy screen?

    I hope that isnt bad news for us people with Anti-glare.

    Perhaps they felt there was a quality control issue with them.. and they couldnt have the checking of these screens hamper their production?? Justa thought.

    They may also be short on supply and its easier to not have it available then to delay people more because of it

    I thought that it was the glossy screen that caused delay.

    When ordering my 1501, it said that choosing the glossy screen could delay the shipping date.

    Perhaps its not the same with the 1520.

    That's strange. They still have it for the 1521.

    you will prob still get the screen if it was due to faulty lcd's then they may cancel that order, but most likely they will ntot
