Does this ThinkPad have a backlit keyboard?

No. It does have an LED light on the top of the screen that can shine down on to the keyboard, though I've never actually used it.

No. Ours does not and that is the one thing we do miss. Our previous Dell did have a backlit keyboard and we really liked it, but this laptop has a much better resolution and watching movies on it is great.

You don't need a backlit keyboard on the T-series ThinkPads, because they come with an awesome little light that shines on the keyboard that you can toggle on and off with the Fn switch. That little perk has been one of my favorite things about the ThinkPad that no other laptop I've ever used has.

Yes, the keyboard is backlit, with the option to adjust the brightness of the backlight. You can turn it off, or have it on any of 3 brightness settings.

No, this is a standard keyboard....Dell offers a backlit keyboard for most of these laptops, but I didn't get one.

This model does not have back-lit keys. The only LEDs on the keyboard are caps, scroll, and num lock keys.

Yes it does. And you can change the light brightness on the keyboard. FN+F11 and F12.

YES! It definitely has a backlit keyboard. It turns itself off after not using the keyboard for a while, maybe after one minute of non-use. But as soon as you touch a key it light up again. The lighting is quite a nice feature. I've had my Aspire M5 for several weeks now and am very happy with my choice. No complaints.

No it does not have a backlit keyboard...just a normal keyboard, but it feels very nice when typing. If you want a backlit keyboard, you can buy a wireless keyboard that has backlit which I did purchase since it is easier for me to type.

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now because it hit my spam folder. The backlit keyboard I have is is n5902, and the ones I have without the back-lighting are n5901. I really wanted to like the backlit one, but the touchpad just doesn't work nearly as well as the rollerball on the older model. Hope that still helps. Thanks! ~D
