Just curious--when was the black border there on the previous 17" MBPs with matte screens? (I have a MBP Core 2 Duo 17" that I got in December 2009. It has a matte screen and a silver border.) On the Apple site today it looks like the new 17" ones have a black border--I didn't see any mention of a silver one. David
