    Hi there,

    I'm unsure if I should chose the Sony Vaio Pro 13 in Black (Matte) or Black Carbon with Touch Screen (non-matte).
    I prefer the matte to use the laptop outside, however, I'm unsure regarding the colors and contrast, how much of a difference this makes..

    Can anyone maybe share some experience?

    Thanks,
    Christoph

    I compared both screen , ( I was already have the touch one ) the screen is amazing in both model , every body look at my laptop says ooh what a beautiful screen . but it's really annoying me in strong lighting in the office or in the day light it's very reflective . if you don't want the touch screen go for the matte one .

    note: at first i thought that I will never use the touch screen but it's really enjoyably with windows 8 .

    Thanks for the opinion!

    Then, which one would you buy now? :) How are you using the touch stuff?
    I'm not sure if I would use it a lot unless the display can be turned over to use it like a tablet...
    Is the color quality etc as good with the matte as it is for the touch display?

    There is also the option to use the touch and buy one of these anti-glare screens to reduce it a bit
    and still have the touch display.. but I don't know how good it is.
