“The Loop points out a new ‘Compare Macs’ feature offering users the ability to compare specs among up to three selected Mac models,” Slivka reports. “The new option is available through either a direct link or as an option in the Mac product line menu bar after selecting a model.”
Slivka reports, “Apple has also added collapsible sections to its configuration pages for various Mac models. The change allows users to open and close sections dedicated to topics such as hardware options, software options, service and support add-ons, and accessories.”

Still a glaring lack of visible anti-glare screen options.
Headaches and eyestrain are on the rise, I wonder why?
No matte, no sale, no way.
Goodbye anonymous coward… however since you are anonymous no one will miss you, as you were never in our thoughts anyway.
Troll.
You are a little late. We all had this argument about two years ago.
Thanks for playing!
Sorry, anonymous coward. I have a shiny 27″ iMac with a brilliant glossy screen, and have had no eyeaches, headaches, backaches or tummyaches. And I do believe there is a vast number of third-party anti-glare options available.
You lose.
It’s a shame Apple is losing sales to the 1100 or so people who signed that matte screen petition. What are they thinking?
@anonymous how did you survive the 90’s with all thoes glossy CRTs?
@Jonahan
Judging by the posts anonymous coward puts on here, I’d say there’s a good chance he wasn’t alive in the ’90s. Just a guess.
Ha. And people thought they were announcing new product goodies.

You have options…Whine your way down to Home Depot and pick yourself up a pack of 220 grit sandpaper…Sand away, Voila, matte monitor…

I would love to see some clinical evidence to support your contention. Until then, you can just sneak back to your hole like your moniker implies.
I see this presaging a drop in the white Macbook price. For back-to-school? I can’t think of why anyone would buy one when they can see a clear comparison to the 13″ MBP.
@A Coward
My preference too is a matte option. Do what we do – connect your own external display to a Mac Mini or your Mac Pro. You can either buy new or purchase a quality used machine from Apple. (In all truth my next computer will probably be an used Mac Pro – in about a year or so.)
If you need a laptop, get one and use it as a desktop at home – meaning connect an external monitor and keyboard – and as a laptop on the road where you can control orientation of the screen. (Just remembered Apple does offer a matte option on the 15 and 17 inch laptops. Doh!)
Just some thoughts for consideration. While I agree with you about Matte being my preferred option – there are plenty of work-arounds. Do yourself a favor and get a Mac
Regards.
(Typing this on my iPhone with an anti-glare screen protector. Options A Coward. Typos are due to this being a phone keyboard and because spelling is not my stong suit. )
Are the people that complain about not having a matte screen 90 years old?
With quarter after quarter of record Mac sales, I don’t think headaches and eye strain are much of a problem

It’s a REVOLUTION!!! Amazin!
@anonymous coward
I suffer from headaches and earstrain from all the smug, pretentious MAC fangirls with their namby-pamby declarations of “it just works” and “I never get viruses on my MAC”. Whatever.
I suggest you get a Zune. It has a magnificent screen which never gives me a headache or eyestrain. Plus, with enough Zune points you can download timeless Foghat classics from Zune Marketplace. MAC sheep have no idea.
Finally, great comments! Keep posting!
Your potential. Our passion.™
Sounds like your jealous of our Macs iPhones and iPads
Zune…..what is that?
If headaches and eyestrain are truly “on the rise,” then perhaps it is due to people spending more time on computers or other reasons. I don’t see any valid reason to attribute an alleged increase in human maladies solely on one source.
I seldom have a reflection problem with glossy displays. But I can see where a person who works in many different locations and lighting conditions may have a different opinion. Laptop users have a matte option on the larger Macbook Pros. Desktop users have a matte option (third party display) on the Mac mini and Mac Pro. iMac users might try an anti-glare film and/or adjustments to location and lighting. I don’t see this problem as insurmountable, and I would prefer to avoid impacting Apple’s economies of scale by introducing complications into its product lines. You opinion may differ, but Apple’s is the only one that seems to count.
