$230 for no backlighting and no numpad? Any idea what this is designed for?

Well, it does have lights when the keyboard or touchpad is activated. I bought it because of the flexibility of touchpad n keyboard combination. At the time I bought that, it doesn't have much option with the combo I'm looking for. Also the price should have drop by now. I bought it for about 100++

the keys do light and i for one was not looking for a numpad to be included. i only paid $150 for mine. i bought it because 1 its rechargeable and has saved tons just in batteries, 2 it had the mouse on the keyboard instead of separate,eliminating the need to buy yet another wireless mouse and take up another usb port....i dont think you will find a wireless keyboard/mouse/numpad all in one. im pleased with what features it has as i use it for just regular surfing and sending emails. it does have the numbers at the top and all the keys of a regular keyboard. like i said for the money i spent it was a good buy...over 5 years and still works great. the keys do light and i for one was not looking for a numpad to be included. i only paid $150 for mine. i bought it because 1 its rechargeable and has saved tons just in batteries, 2 it had the mouse on the keyboard instead of separate,eliminating the need to buy yet another wireless mouse and take up another usb port....i dont think you will find a wireless keyboard/mouse/numpad all in one. im pleased with what features it has as i use it for just regular surfing and sending emails. it does have the numbers at the top and all the keys of a regular keyboard. like i said for the money i... » Read More the keys do light and i for one was not looking for a numpad to be included. i only paid $150 for mine. i bought it because 1 its rechargeable and has saved tons just in batteries, 2 it had the mouse on the keyboard instead of separate,eliminating the need to buy yet another wireless mouse and take up another usb port....i dont think you will find a wireless keyboard/mouse/numpad all in one. im pleased with what features it has as i use it for just regular surfing and sending emails. it does have the numbers at the top and all the keys of a regular keyboard. like i said for the money i spent it was a good buy...over 5 years and still works great. « Show Less

I use it to control my my media PC in my living room. Works great. Looks great. Since I'm watching movies in there I prefer that it doesn't have a back light that lights up ever time I adjust volume or skip ahead.

Its purpose to be on a couch or be further away from your computer and be able to have a mouse on the keyboard.It is an excellent Keyboard, but i doubt it years ago. Numpad isnt that important to me but i can definitely say they should have updated the keyboard to add a backlight by now.

There is no back light. The display is made of LED (bar & other shape) segments which are always lit.

I don't know what a "back lit keyboard" is. There is no kind of light displaying the keyboard.

I have several reviews that said there is no backlit display - yet the description of the product says it does have one. Is there a way to activate it or turn it on? Thank you!

I'm at work and don't have the box in front of me, but I believe it's an LCD screen but it's backlit with LED lights. When my last LCD went on the fritz, I discovered that the screen was backlit with fluorescent tubes and one had gone bad. So the new thing is to backlight the screen with LED. Should save energy and the bulbs are more stable.

There is no backlight on mine. If they add one to later models let's hope they edit the description to reflect that....

I checked online and asked how to determine if my keyboard has a back light. I pushed the Fn key and space bar at the same time and it did not enable or disable any light. I assume that there is no back light on the keyboard.

The numbers are lit and the marker on the edge is LED and color coded, so it does not require a backlight. Mine has always been readable easily with no additional lighting.

I do not know what you are asking. It works perfect. Just lower your screen contrast and brightness. If you want to know the properties, I think that is manufacturer question

Mine is not. The numbers are nice and dark and viewable at a wide angle, but it has no backlighting. I use it for solar applications, which don't take place in the dark ;-) so I can't say how hard it would be to read in dark, but in bright sunlight I have no problem.

No lights at all. And aw man, they make it in black?? I didn't even notice, I got white. But hey, white is cheaper and it's under my nightstand anyway. :)

The keyboard is NOT backlit...I would have liked that. The screen can be bright eough that you don't need that feature in most cases.

We are sorry to tell you that the item does not the backlight keyboard. About the backside of this one, our worker will add the photo on the listing. Wish we can do more business with you in the further.

No, the display is not backlit. It seemed to me that I read someplace that there was the possibility of back lighting, but it must have been wishful thinking.

There is no back light for the keys. The logo is lighted up at the bottom though.

Hi Haley, Acer specs often list LED backlighting, which refers to the screen, and people sometimes confuse it to mean backlighting for the keyboard. Of course anyone who has this computer would know the keyboard is not backlit. I purchased this laptop and I only have one Acer that does have keyboard backlighting, and it cost twice as much as this laptop. The less expensive models like this one typically will not have keyboard backlighting.
