    Anyone experiencing any glare issues with the new Trubrite Screens. I'm contemplating whether or not this will affect where I can use this laptop ( under what lighting conditions?). At the store, the glare was pretty significant, but i don't know if it's related to the lighting on location.

    The TruBrite screens are just "high-gloss" in nature. you will get a lot of glare wherever you are. I saw this same model at Sam's Club and I was aww-struck with the brightness of the screen, but also noticed how much glare was coming off it. If you're concerned about the glare, I probably wouldn't recommend getting this type (TruBrite) or any other "enhanced" LCD's like X-Brite, X-Black, BrightView, Crystalview, etc....

    Thanks for the response... I really think the new screens are pretty cool (the image is much clearer and crisper) but i'm really just wondering how bothersome the glare issues is. Has anyone bought the M30 with trubrite and can comment on the use of this labtop at home, in the office, outside...? Any additional input would help me greatly in making my decision...
