I'm buying a new 17in. MacBook Pro and I can't decide between the matte and glossy display.
Glossy because of the better color and matte because of the anti-glare.
What do you think?

Glossy.
Wipes clean easily.

why 17 inch, it is so unpractical. go for 15. as for the screen i have no idea. i would think matte to avoid reflections?

I've seen the glossy and it was like a mirror.. I would stay well away.

why 17in?

it will be the death of me some day, i know it

the 17 is just awkward. i almost got one, but i'm glad i got the 15. the glossies are pretty bad. if you're anywhere near light you can't see a thing.

im really tired of working on a small screen
i saw someone with the 17in the other day and i love the thought of having all of those inches to move stuff around on
i dont mind lugging it around, i probably wont be moving it too much anyway

I say matte, my girlfriend has a glossy PC laptop and even if you're indoors and sitting next to a lamp or a window, the glare will bother you a lot more than the possible loss of color of a matte screen. Besides, on a mac it's real easy to set the color mode of the screen to fit your needs.
