Why would anyone want a matted screen on a laptop over the trubrite glossy screen?
Also, has anyone seen the Toshiba Qosmio? It is just loaded and incredible. Anyone have any ideas because I generally go Toshiba and I love this Qosmio that has the red fire on the lid part. However, it is a good 500 more than other brands with similar specs....Although the Qosmio also has 4 speakers and a woofer and all this on a laptop at 2.5 mhz dual....Is it worth the extra cost? PLease help! :)

Most people find that particular unit ugly (as do I).

Don't go head over heels on the sound thing. It's still a notebook, it's speakers will suck, no matter how many of them there are. You can't make a good sounding speaker small. It's not possible. Dedicated speakers will always blow them out of the water.

The extra cost is due to the fact the notebook is equipped with 3 graphics cards. They're aged cards now, I think they're 9800's. What price are you getting it for?

^ I agree about it's looks. I saw one in person at Best Buy a few months ago and wanted to puke, but then again I don't want my laptop to be flashy. And yes, it uses aged 9800M GTS cards plus an integrate 9400 (I believe).

On to the screens. The biggest complaint about TruBrite/Glassview/Glossy screens is that they tend to be very reflective and if you are in a high light environment it can be a pain to see your screen. I, however, love glossy screens. My Sager came with a Glassview WUXGA screen and I think it's amazing.
