Is the LED-display of the new 17" MacBook Pro robust enough for daily mobile use or will it break too easily

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'd say, for *mobile* use, it's a bit overwhelming, no? I'd think it's more like a home arena laptop, where my tendency would be to cart around a 15" MBP or maybe even a leedle ol' 13" high-end MB for mobile uses. Sturdy, yes. Powerful? Overwhelming! (I can imagine it in my daypack...groan on my ol' shoulders! Whereas my 15" MBP gives me a bit of a break.)

OK you're right. In fact I gonna primarily use it in the home arena. But it should survive any once-in-a-while trip out in the real world. I would prefer the 15" version as well - but there is a real difference in the specs-list.

It is not going to break just with normal use. It can break if you smash it or drop the Macbook Pro.

The LED part of the LED display is the backlight. Normal laptop screens are backlit by a small fluorescent lamp that runs the length of the screen, either at the top or at the bottom edge, with mirrors and reflectors that send that light evenly across the back of the LCD screen.

Since LED is a solid state technology, it will withstand vibrations and impacts much better than the current multi-component standard: a glass fluorescent lamp with wires and a small inverter.

The LEDs also have a longer lifespan than fluorescent lamps and are not subject to a change in the color of the light output over time (the dreaded pink hue in fluorescent lamps as it nears death).

The most common reason why an LCD screen will stop working is that the backlight would be dead (short of physically breaking it). The actual LCD screen is actually fine and working but without a backlight, you can't see anything.
