So MacFans, you have yet another reasons to smile since the upcoming MacBook Pros will come rocking more multihued displays with the new backlight technology. Now, the MacBook Pros will swing from cold cathode fluorescent backlights (CCFLs) to LED backlights.
The sources claim that Apple will integrate the LED technology in its 15-incher only that are slated to ship in Q2 of 2007. But, the 17-inchers and the 13-inchers are still under consideration. Though LED technology is costlier than the CCFLs, it is more proficient in offering increased color saturation and even distribution of light across the display.
A backlight solutions provider hopes the LED based MacBook Pros to run cooler, save on power and will last longer than the CCFL based machines. Slated this spring, the LED-lit displays will also deliver a more bright canvas for the various software user interface enhancements and animation techniques that will be incorporated with Mac OS X Leopard.
Moreover, Apple has laid emphasis on breakthroughs for the new MacBook Pro line that will signal an out-and-out about-face in the company’s marketing approach for 2007.
