Arsenic free glass in laptops? What exactly does it mean?

The issue probably isn't so much the amount of arsenic that might be contained in a single screen (though when factored over millions of displays it's not insignificant) but more the use, or in this case elimination of use, of arsenic in the manufacturing process and hence the elimination of thousands of pounds of arsenic-inclusive industrial waste.

Arsenic is usually used to get rid of the green tint in glass. I suppose you would have to do some research on the amount of arsenic manufacturers use in their glass. As for the amount eliminated per laptop I'm sure it is probably small but I say that none is better than a little.

It means you can safely lick the screen now.

You beat me to it.

Haha. The new MacBook Pro is lick friendly!

Ooo, thanks! Good info.
