LED MacBooks in a few weeks?

CrunchGear claim to have a source inside Apple who says that, although there will be no Santa Rosa Macs anytime soon, a MacBook with an LED backlit screen will be launched within a month. Steve Jobs has previously announced that the entire Mac lineup would be converted to use LED backlights instead of the current fluorescent technology, beginning this year, but we didn't expect it quite so soon.

Steve Jobs has previously announced that the entire Mac lineup would be converted to use LED backlights instead of the current fluorescent technology, beginning this year, but we didn't expect it quite so soon. It's no surprise though. I have a bad habit of buying Macs just before an upgrade, and my MacBook is only six weeks old.
