I'm at a loss right now, as I was waiting for these new ones to make my decision on upgrading. Now I think I'll wait as long as possible. Love the new design and look, with one exception (and that's a single, major flaw.)

I just can not live with a glossy display on my notebook. I use mine in too many varied lighting conditions (many with no control on positioning) and I can not stand to see every smudge and speckle of dust/dirt that gets on the glossy screens. Not to mention to me they are harder on my eyes with constant all-day use. Worst yet is color correction, darn near impossible.

This was not a good idea for the pro models on Apple's part. I doubt it'll happen, but remain hopeful they come to their senses and figure out a way to offer a matte screen in the near future. If that doesn't come, I'm not sure what I'll wind up doing. The matte screen is in the top 5 most important features list I have (closer to #2 or #3.) Without those 5, I really can't justify buying.

The new cinema is interesting (not counting the glossy part). Having the cable setup like that would make my life so much easier, but adding FW would help even more.
