No, it is not. The one with backlit tile and spill resistant keyboard is U845-S406. Instead of 4GB (as U845-S402 has) it has 6GB and it comes with Bluetooth, but it was $100 more, so I ended up with this one. U945-S4390 also has backlit keyboard an comes with Windows 8, so it's even more expensive.

No, it is not backlighted, however the white letters on the black key background makes visibility pretty good in low light.

It is NOT a backlit keyboard. They are just regular keys. Having said that, my stepson LOVES this laptop and says that he does not miss the backlit keys at all. Hope this helps.

No, the keys are not back-lit. However, the Caps Lock key does have a light in the corner to let you know that it is on.

The keyboard does not have backlight ability. The text font on the keys give it that illusion but it does not.

It's not backlit. The "blue" in the description refers to the type of switches used in the keys.
