Sharp has introduced its LE700 series LED TVs, using edge-lit LED backlight technology instead of CCFL. Unlike Sony, Samsung, Toshiba and Vizio, Sharp’s LE700 series have no local dimming function.

This is one Mac that not everyone will be able to get their hands on I’m afraid. The guys from Colorware who love to play around with their customised coloring technology have dished out this very special matte black Stealth Macbook Pro completed using sof*touch hi-tech plastic rubber.
