In the four months I’ve had it I’ve told at least a dozen people about it, and I’m gonna keep telling people. Being able to take my entire computing environment to places without being worried about glare has expanded the range of environments I can create in. It means I get to be in environments that are more interesting, fun, and in tune with my body.<\/p>\n

What follows are some thoughts about how this display has fit into my day to day life in the couple of months I’ve had it.<\/p>\n

fingerprints, splatters, and smudges are mildly annoying indoors but almost fluorescent outdoors<\/p>\n

Closing the MacBook results in slight rubbing on the screen at the bottom of the keyboard \/ top of the trackpad, leaving scratches on the screen. So far this isn’t detrimental when the brightness is up; it’s only visible with the backlight off<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I rarely use mine outdoors, but it even makes a big difference indoors when you don’t have control over windows and other places glare might be coming from. It’s really great on airplanes.<\/p>\n\n
