Oh, they’re in stock again? €780 is a lot of money, but I might still go for it. Is “premium anti-glare etched glass” worth the upgrade to the 1TB model? I don’t think I’ll miss the storage upgrade or the “exclusive startup movie”, but the screen is very important to me. I just don’t know what the upgrade means.
It’s a matter of preference. The etched glass screen is slightly hazier and seems to have slightly less color saturation, but is better if you’re playing in an environment without controlled lighting.
I bought the 512 GB glossy and the screen is fantastic IMO. I ended up upgrading to 1 TB essentially by accident, as a mini-PC I purchased for server use came with a 1 TB 2230 NVMe but I was swapping the storage from a server that had a hardware failure, so basically free upgrade.
Thanks, I like my colors and can manage the light, so I won’t feel bad missing out on the etched glass then. And the storage upgrade was my plan too, if I ever need it. Much easier to execute than a screen upgrade.
Its just a preference. Personally I absolutely loathe matte displays. Don’t understand why anyone likes them. It doesn’t block reflections, it just smears them across the entire display while dulling the colors. But lots of people like them.

Given the hardware’s capabilities, 1 TB is honestly overkill unless you just spend a lot of time offline or want a ton of games installed.
I have around 150 games installed currently and still have around 150 GB free on main storage.
