It's the first laptop that Apple came out with that features a LED backlit (LCD) screen to save energy, be brighter, and cut down on some of the toxins that were used in earlier models. I got it the day it came out back in June last year. -------------------- |

For most purposes yes, but when running several simultaneous virtual instruments it's practically essential.
