I'm considering buying a 2.4 GHz glossy-screen MacBook Pro.

The Apple store has some refurbs for 300 bucks off. (Refurbished MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo...$2199.00)


Is this a good idea?

Should I wait until Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)? (I think I can wait that long, it's been 7 years since my last new computer, what's a few months?)

What do you think?

If it's the new LED screen, then they are very bright and the gloss vs. matte issue is moot. As for the clarity I've not noticed an difference. But, if you like positioning the thing every few minutes to reduce the glare from ambient lighting, then glossy is your choice :)

I eventually realized you meant LCD, but I was very briefly marvelling at the fact that there would be LEDs small enough to be useful as a monitor.

LOL - wee little LEDs :)

The LCD panel used to be lit with a florescent light source and now are using LEDs which are brighter and 'greener'.
