MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 by JeffWhiskey on newegg.com May 2, 2012
You can order it custom from Apple to get a mat screen and with a higher resolution. I choose not to because I choose to spend the money buying 8GB of Ram and a 2nd SSD hard drive and optical drive/hard drive bay kit. This Laptop is fast! I have it connected ...
 
Wow!! Amazing price for a great product! by TechMan on bhphotovideo.com May 30, 2011
