    If I bought a Macbook 13", what the chances I would get one with a new screen? They don't have a return policy so I'm scared of the gamble.

    You're not guaranteed anything. Depending on how many they sell, yours could and couldn't. You could wait a bit longer - every extra day you wait, the % chance goes higher. You're never 100% assured that you will get the new screen, since it isn't technically an "official" update.

    Is it likely you will notice the difference in the screens anyway? Most people probably couldn't, unless they had them side by side.

    Really? If that is the case then the new screen shouldn't be better because the reviews on the original screen that I have read said it was really bad(viwing angles, black, and contrast).

    hmm, that's weird. I posted on this thread before and so did speedwithJJ, and both posts disappeared.
