When Apple introduced the nano-texture display option, it revolutionized how creators like me interacted with their most crucial tool. Let’s face it, we look at the display on the laptop 100% of the time we use it, so it needs to be as perfect as humanly possible. Until now, despite countless improvements from Apple and others, no display has truly nailed the combination of resolution, quality, accuracy, and glare reduction.
This is the first time it genuinely feels like everything has come together perfectly. As someone who frequently battles glare while simultaneously demanding the ideal combination of portability and power, I wholeheartedly believe that the MacBook Pro 14-inch, equipped with the formidable M4 Pro chip, represents a significant improvement that fully satisfies all my creative demands. Designer: Apple The magic lies in microscopic etchings that break down light waves.
Instead of applying a coating that dulls the display, Apple precisely alters the glass surface itself. These nanometer-scale etchings scatter ambient light while attempting to maintain the display’s inherent color accuracy and contrast. The nano-texture display, a $150 upgrade, felt like a luxury at first—until I used it for the first time today.
Working outdoors, on airplanes, in cars, or any bright environment is now effortless. Previously, my 16-inch M1 Max MacBook Pro would glare so much under sunlight that I’d have to squint or move indoors. Now, with the nano-texture display, dire.
