Mark (and Jostein), things HAVE changed in the MacBook Pro lineup.
All of the current offerings use an IPS screen with LED
backlighting. I got a 15 incher at Chrstmas as a present for myself,
and it's gorgeous! You can get either a glossy

I believe the new Macbook 15 inchers have high quality displays. I believe they
