Will this make for a more even back light distribution? I've noticed on some of the newer Dell laptops we have here at work (D620) and my iBook G4 and my IBM T43 that if you have a black screen, say a dos prompt, you can see bright spots in the back light due to the location of the lamp itself. If theres LED back lights, would there be more of them scattered around the screen to even out the overall dispersement of light?

How about some high end-business notebook loving?

Anything about weight differences?

Coming soon? Sony (and Fujitsu for that matter) have been using LED-backlights in their notebooks since the middle of 2006.

Screw the notebooks. How about an LCD HDTV that uses LED backlighting..

How about expected lifespan? Will these last considerably longer than fluorescent backlights, and will they decrease in brightness as dramatically as they age?

increased battery life would be the only thing i would care about. i normally have to set the brightness pretty low on my laptop other wise its so bright that it hurts my eyes.
