Why they made it glossy white is beyond me as it may be intrusive to some and adds nothing over a dark matt colour.

But for me, the most annoying thing is the glossy reflective black screen border - it's only about 3mm wide but that is enough to irritate when it catches a light. It was a silly, nonsensical design decision. The reflective touch screen annoys me too but at least that can be covered.
