    Does the S1 come with a gloss screen?

    I just received my S1 t2500 2.0ghz and it has a gloss screen! (not complaining)

    It should not come with a glossy screen. It should be Matte, could you take some pictures of it?

    Possible check the model number of the Screen and then check it on the internet.

    One question!
    On the pictures you have taken the screen looks very dark. Actually I thought that it was reflection from the sky at first. What was the brightness settings when you took the pictures?

    I had it on battery when I took the picture, and on batt. the brightness level goes down a few notches.

    After I took the picture I realised this and put the brightness right up again, but as with all laptops (matte screens too) it looks a buit darker in direct sunlight / outdoor settings....

    Actually it SHOULD be glossy... their site said "FineBright" which is like Bjuste said, the term for glossy.
