    some people prefer matte. glossy isn't for everyone and it's very hard to find a high end laptop without a glossy screen.

    To remove a glossy screen seems to be a lot of work, taking out the LCD frame cover and panel... i don't know the point of removal about it. Many users still like the glossy screen than the regular one.

    Cheers
