This says (Non-Backlit) but I can't find any info from Lenovo that says they released a Non-Backlit model at all. Is this really Non-Backlit?

From the package of the product, it says Multimedia Remote N5902(non-backlit). I think it should be a non-backlit model, at least from what it says.

Please inform Beth, the K120 Logitech Keyboard is not `backlit. No where in the Amazon description and chart does it state that it is. It does state, "Easy-to-read characters Bold, bright characters make the keys easier to read-even if you have less than perfect vision." This means the Key lettering is in white paint with contrasting black keys background. The product comparison chart indicates it does not have the `backlit keyboard' option. Regards

Altho mine came looking like it was professionally packaged at the factory I doubt it would be covered by Lenovo since it has been modified so much. I can add tho, I have not had any issues at all. Everything is still functioning perfectly and definitely faster than the stock Lenovo made unit. I appreciate the speed boost over stock. I'm hoping they give us a 4K monitor next.

No backlit keyboard. I do like how the screen doesn't dim if the laptop is not plugged in. There are alternative ways to lighting a keyboard that span from DIY to purchasable additions.

There is a back lighting option that you can enable or disable with a keyboard shortcut. When it's enabled, the lighting is quite bright and effective -- I found it to work really well for using the laptop in the dark.

No the keyboard is not back lit. You need to look for it in the description. I bought one of the more souped up versions two years ago with all the bells and whistles. I bought this one as a Christmas gift. Small differences one of them being the backlight. I didn't think it would matter for the person I bought it for and it didn't. But when I set it up I noticed it. I like the backlit board better. If your really want that feature they do have them just make sure you find it in the description of the item being sold. Not the generic Dell ad that they show you on the sites.

So, they are actually shipping this? Is this the UK version, since Lenovo does not seem to have released it in the US yet?

Yes and no. The unit has a backlight mode. The problem is enabling it requires a two key push button sequence. From that point forward pushing any key briefly illuminates the screen. The unit then defaults back to the unlit mode after some inactive period. I have trouble remembering the key sequence and so can not reliably activate the backlight. Altogether I'd say the key controls throughout this unit are very non intuitive.

We have heard you loud and clear. Early December, UL30VT. Simlar specs to other VT models, similar price. BT. No backlit keyboard, sorry. Can't reveal more at this time. Thank Amazon's discussion boards and two of Asus's core competencies -- agility, and ability to innnovate.

Yes to both, HOWEVER the Best Buy version of this laptop does NOT have a backlit keyboard.

This keyboard is NOT backlit. The LED is on the side and acts (in my opinion) as an "emergency" flashlight. I do not recommend using this keyboard in lo-light/no-light conditions. Otherwise, it is a very nice, mini BT keyboard. Hope this helps!

I can confirm, they are not backlit. But I guess you can attach an external keyboard that is, if you need it. (if I'm typing in the dark I generally tip the monitor a bit to light up the keys.

No the keyboard is not backlit. I only know of Dells being backlight. This one is not a touch screen and does not have keys that you can see in the dark. I heard that it is made in Thailand, but I do not know if that is true. I have had it for 6 months, and have already had a few problems with it... the text on one side sometimes disappears, but his only happened while in facebook, and the mouse is hypersensitive all the time, and sometimes you can be typing an email or filling in an online application, and the screen just drops right in the middle of your typing for no apparent reason several times so you have to go looking for it to see where it went before you can finish and send the email. The email screen usually pops up when the screen drops, and I can't close it out. That frequent cloudlike disappearance can be very frustrating at time.

This is not the quad edition and there is not a backlit keyboard. The one thing I can tell you is that I bought it with Windows 8. When prompted to upgrade to Windows 8.1, the computer crashed. I sent the computer back, since it was within the one year warranty period. They wiped my hard drive of files, pictures, software. It was sad. That does not mean that I will buy another HP, but I am holding my breath. I need to buy two more computers and I would not buy Windows 8....maybe 8.1, maybe 7.

This particular version of the T530 does not have a backlit keyboard, possibly some of the more feature equipped models might have the backlit keyboard.

Yep, typing on it right now in the dark. It is back lit to the color of your choosing, it can even cycle through colors... but that is distracting. And, yes it looks just like that photo. The only keys that are not back lit are the thumb mod keys below the spacebar.

No, the model does not have a back lit keyboard. I do not know if it was an option or not.
