I hope they'll actually do well. IT market needs strong Apple. I'd be happier if we have a few more alternative platforms doing well - in my ideal world, say, Amiga and ST beside Apple, with dominant platform having no more than 50% of market...
Anyway. Someone has to keep Windows/PC alliance vigilant.

See what happens when you add firewire back to the 13" and improve its screen? Wait til matte (or should I say less glossy) returns to the lineup.
Instead of talking out of your hat, why don't you buy a Mac with a glossy screen and then you will realize that the Matte screen is really poor in clarity. The glossy screen brings back the clarity Apple had when they used Sony Trinitron tubes in all their displays, while PC's used the cheap shadow mask tubes that paled in comparison. My LC 575 with Trinitron tube has a sharper picture than my iMac G5 with matte LCD. And the LC 575 is 15 years old!

Talking out of my hat? The glossy iMac is atrocious- it's not even LED! The 13" glossy finally was brought up to a Pro level of the Pro LED manufacturer as the other Pros- before that it was not great. Have you compared it to the 13" MacBook? Do you have any idea how many people loathe glossy displays? I should say HIGH GLossy displays. They're great if you ever need a mirror to apply makeup but besides that- ?????
Apple should never have tried to mirror their computer displays to the iPhone's display. "What's good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander."
Both matte and glossy displays are flawed answers. Which one is more flawed sometimes depends on the person's environment and preferences. There are surface treatments that literally cancel out reflections by optical interference, Apple uses a very light touch of that, but not nearly strong enough in my opinion. It probably costs a little more, but I would be happy to pay it. I have a couple camcorders that use that on the screen, it looks great.

You are so full of shit TeckStud. MacWorld even did a survey and more people preferred the iMac's glossy display. Since you don't even own one, you don't know what you are talking about. You are just spreading your normal FUD, like you do with the iPhone, which you don't own either. Now you are complaining about LED? Did you run out of glossy complaints? Did you avoid all MacBook Pros with their non-LED matte screens because they weren't LED? Did you avoid all matte LCD's because they weren't LED? You are the only one that makes an issue about hating the glossy screen because you don't even own one! Until you actually have experience with an iMac at home, go smoke your FUD. When the iMac is on, there is no reflection. Did you hate the reflection on the original Trinitron monitors too? Are are you not old enough to have any experience with those either?
I bought a 13" aluminum MacBook last month, I didn't want to wait ten days for a new MacBook Pro from the several stores I tried, FireWire, who cares I've never used it, glossy screen meh the screen is great
To me this is a netbook, small, light and powerful.

Not according to the Winblows sufferers. They'll yell and scream that a "netbook" isn't supposed to cost ~$1000. They say the whole point is something cheap and inexpensive. In other words: junk. Which is what most netbooks are.
Just change what you call it and you're good to go. Apple's redefined the space anyway.

I agree- a hybrid display is the best.
Time to cross fingers for tomorrow night!

Odd that he stuck with the $180 recommendation. If things are that rosy, I would have expected Gene to jump back up to $200.

Didn't he recently raise his target price? That's what I seem to remember.
So, anyway... matte or glossy?
