Sony has more than just the TX with LED backlight

Sony's SZ premium laptops also have LED backlighting. All you have to do is check out Sony's product page for the SZ series.
If it has a carbon fiber chassis then it will have LED backlighting.

What I don't understand is that I've read this story on three different websites and not one has mentioned Sony's SZ series. At least Crave caught on that Sony has done the LED thing...the others naively believe that no one has a laptop out yet with LED backlighting...check your sources before publishing...it makes you look smarter.

A little uncalled for

Hey now, the article says "that we know of."

I don't know if this was there when you posted, nbarksda, but still...

They did their best, and if Crave didn't know of another Sony laptop series that
offered LED backlighting, it's no reason to burn them for it.

Shame on you for putting Crave down just to try and make you look smarter and
more "plugged in" to the tech community

Might this be the 'one more thing?'

As much as I still love my PowerBook Titanium, the design has been around for
about 5 or 6 years. It's the only one that's not been replaced (though refreshed
a few times). I'm thinking aluminum, but with the newer MacBook keyboard,
and maybe even a Product(RED) finish! And perhaps the other Nano colors.

I'm looking for a laptop that I can use outside in the sun. I'm afraid that the glossy screen will be a problem. Does the LED help? A little? A lot? Dell won't be getting theirs until January, they tell me and I don't know if I can afford to wait. Also, is an LED screen the same as a high def LED? Thanks
