LED MacBook Pro Update in June?
According to the rumor site, Apple placed an order for over 100,000 15.4-inch LED displays in April for a delivery schedule in May. This would provide adequate lead in time for a June ship date. Meanwhile, orders for 13.3-inch LED screens are reportedly being considered for 3rd Quarter roll-out.
This report echoes a similar timeframe to a Digitimes report from yesterday, but targets the MacBook Pro specifically at WWDC in June.
According to our Buyer's Guide the MacBook Pro has seen 196 days since their last update, with a historic average of 182 days between updates.

well ok, but what about the 17" MBPro? no info on that size?
Wouldn't be the first time the 15'' got an update before the 17''.
I wonder though if the quality of the panels differ a lot; anybody got some more information on that?
Sources report the displays will come from a number of makers simply because availability is tight as Asian manufacturers begin to ramp up production of the brighter, lower-power and environmentally-friendly displays.
Apparently Samsung's 15.4" panel will be capable of 1440x900, which does not really seem to offer the rumoured resolution independance feature in Leopard.
The 15.4 inch LED backlit LCD will be capable of a 1440 x 900 resolution while being 5.8 mm thin. To add on to it, the power consumption will only be eating 3.1W, making it a suitable panel for future laptops. Covering 45% of NTSC color gamut, the 15 inch model will also manage 262k colors while holding a 330 cd/m2 brightness.

That's going to be replaced with a 12" MBP. Didn't you hear? :D
This makes the most business sense for Apple to release the MBP first, even though I have been looking forward to a new MB. They shouldn't be too far behind.
Don't they usually update the MacBook Pro first, then a few months later update the MacBook?
I know they never upgrade the Mac mini. j/k
