Do these new unibody MacBooks and MBP's have a piece of glass in front of the LCD panel?
Did the non-unibody MBP's have glass too?

I think what makes a screen glossy is that it's not treated with matte coating, but I could be wrong.

Matte displays are indeed coated with an extra layer of non-reflective plastic.
The unibody MacBooks Pro and iMacs/LED Cinema Displays have a sheet of glass in front of the display, as well.

Sorry couldn't resist. They are magical devices, after all.

Does that mean the non-unibody MBP's don't have the glass in front?

Yes. The matte option MBPs also don't have glass (which is why they're silver around the display rather than the black glass).

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.
