Many designers and gamers on the other hand prefer glossy screens as they look more vivid.
I work at a company that amongst other things sells mid-high end monitors (mostly to photographers and graphic designers) for people who need the colours to be true (we distribute monitor-calibrators and colour systems). We also have Imacs that we look after for a customer in the office right now, and some cinema displays. We happened to be moving some stuff around recently and I was stuck by the texture differences between cinema displays and Imacs versus the lovely soft displays on say an Eizo or high end Benq.
I can only say it is all about looks rather than function for any machine with a glossy display.
I don't think my Thinkpad is as glossy as a MBP
Perhaps this thread should be titled, 'Why are Apple monitors shiny"
