Does it have a back light (does the screen light up)?

I took it into a dark room and I could not see the screen. I suggest that you go online to Sony and download the owner's Manuel. I don't see anything about a backlight in it, but maybe I just missed it.

Yes, the screen does light up. I also want to add that it runs on batteries and on an a/c adapter.

It does have a back light but you only can see it if no other light is available.

It does have a back lit screen with brightness adjustment very extremely happy with this model

No it doesn't and the display does not light up, so it's hard to see who's calling if all the lights are off.

No, it has a little pop out light at the top of the display to light the keyboard, the light is insufficient. This computer is a powerful tough machine with lots of top end features but it lacks a backlight keyboard. I highly recommend this computer what it lacks in style is more than made up in power and functionability.

No it doesn't. There's no built in back light. Sorry. It only displays the name of the song and who's it by.

Yes it does. In the back of the screen. If you are looking to buy it is definitely worth the money

Bought this laptop for my daughter. She has not mentioned that it had a backlit keyboard. I as as I know the keyboard is not backlit.

No, not back lighted. Returning because pictures make it look like it is, but it isn't.

No-the keyboard does NOT light up. I don't think I ever have had one that did.

No, there is no backlight. Not on the models I have. Mine are 3+ years old.

It does have a backlight just hold the button at the bottom down for a couple of seconds and it will come on!

Yes there IS a backlight, but it only comes on when you push one of the buttons, and then shuts off in a few moments.

No backlight, but does have a nice zippered case. Interestingly, it does not come in a cardboard box -- just in the case!

No, it does not. Often the screen will provide enough light to see the keys, but if you plan on working in the dark fairly often, then you will want the backlit keys.

Yes, it has a backlit keyboard but the light does not stay on constantly. I have not really checked to see if it can be turned on during full use or turn it off altogether.

Yes it does! The backlit keyboard is very useful as I'm a night person. The screen is 400-nit which is super bright and I have no problems seeing the screen outdoors.
