The first photo I’ve found, from here, of the 15” MacBook Pro’s new matte-screen option that I ordered last week.

There are no apparent surprises (fortunately). It looks exactly like the 17” unibody matte screen. I saw a lot of those at WWDC — about two-thirds of all 17” unibody MBPs I saw there were matte — and they looked great in person.

It looks very similar to a the MacBook Air’s bezel with one key difference: the Air’s rubber gasket is gray to blend in with the metal’s color. On this new 15” matte screen, just like the 17”, the rubber gasket is black. It’s surely an intentional design choice: I bet, without that slight black accent, the bigger machines’ screens look too bare.

Update: Here are some much better pictures, especially this and this.
