Hi Mitch,Sean:
What is the advantage of LEDs: is it that the viewing angles can be greater without the character of the image on the monitor changing? As you know, I bought the 17" high resolution MacBook Pro without LEDs with which I'm quite happy.

The 17" also has a much larger battery to begin with, so not sure how much difference that makes...I wonder, Jack, because I get 3-1/2 to 4 hours on my 17" MacBook Pro.

What I didn't understand in the pictures of the unit was the box at the bottom. They tout the thing as being really thin but that makes no difference how thick/thin it is if the footprint is limited by the box size. Did I miss something?has anyone been to a Sony shop to see its prototyp OLED screen? i came across it by chance. the screen is only about 5mm, the the overall color is rich, the blacks are deep with details, the highlights are bright and detailed, and viewing angle is VERY wide. i didn't notice any shifting even when i viewed the screen sharply off to the side. i was impressed.
according to the store sales, the production screens will be out in late 2008.
probably not. if i'm remembering correctly, the base of the screen is about 1" thick and 3" deep. most likely the base houses the components that run the OLED screen.What I didn't understand in the pictures of the unit was the box at the bottom.

As re Rob and the new machines having better angle o view, let's read what he wrote:
"The inescapable conclusion is this: calibrated and profiled as described above, the screens in the older 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pros don't quite cut it, but the new MacBook Pro 15 inch model with LED backlighting displays colour that's pleasingly close to the mark. And while the new laptop has the same tight viewing angle as the older models, it's less of a problem in reality because of the aforementioned near-elimination of colour oversaturation problems."
