I would certainly hope Apple is using more expensive displays in their
laptops.

Everyone's "budget" laptops (for some loose definition of the word) have
the same sort of plastic coated screen as mine does.  It would surprise
me if many of the other manufacturers aren't buying the same screens as
Dell is.

I wish I knew what actually caused the scratches.  If I dropped a small
screw or something in there, the scratches are entirely understandable.
 If it was caused by a crumb from a donut I'd be pretty disappointed
(and probably impressed by the donut!).

I imagine the truth lies somewhere in between :).
