Even though macs are great, one aspect that has bee continually irritating is the presence of a perfect reflection in the glass that protects their displays. Not everyone is annoyed by this, but many users have recognized it as a distracting element of the computer. For thoe who wish to rid themselves of this glare, Apple has offered an option to add anti-glare glass to the display of MacBook Pros for an extra U$S150 on the 15-inch an 17-inch models. Sadly, this optional characteristic is lacking in their iMac line, according to strong rumors that we haer all this may change with the next generation of Apple's All-In-One desktop.
The rumor mill has included a small bit of information pertaining to the rumored new iMac, in a roundup of touch panel supplier news published earlier today. According to the report, G-Tech Optoelectronics is both increasing the production rate of glass for the new iPad and also collaborating whit Apple to manufacturer some anti-reflective glass for a new iMac that would sport Intel's Ivy Bridge CPU Technology: these processors will become available on March 29th, according to report. More after the break.
G-Tech is ramping up its production capacity of cover glass from 1.8 millon units a month curretly to thre million units in 2012 as the company is likely to take up 25-30% of total cover glass orders for Apple's iPads in the year, according to an indutry estimate.
G-Tech is also expected to supply AR(anti-reflective) glass solutions for Apple's All-In-One (AIO) iMac's with the new products to also serve as a growth drive for G-Tech, indicated industry sources.
I've always found the glare on my 15-inch iMac to be distracting. What do you think about this? Would you purchase a new iMac for less glare or just get some film to put over it? Let us know in the comments.
