    It took me 3weeks to get this laptop...
    (antiglare wedge in canadian website)

    I'm not sure whether I should return this or not?
    other than that other things looks fine

    I got the laptop two days ago. screen was too bright and was giving me headache on few hours of usage.
    So I checked the screen out and I found out it is glossy not the matte I ordered.

    I tried to request refund but it was too late at night (1am) so I searched for pros and cons for glossy vs matte
    and I see lots of people saying glossy is better?

    so I adjusted screen brightness and it isn't that bad and not sure whether I should return this or not...
    also I'm worried about warranty problem (i bought anti glare laptop but it came as glare and I may have problem if I go for warranty service)

    us version says it's glossy screen but it says anti glare wedge screen on the canadian website?
    I've talked with sales rep and they confirmed anti glare wedge screen is matte screen
