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

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, 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.

It is not backlit. I love the touch-screen interface with Windows 8 on this computer though :) Good Luck

No. This model didn't have the backlit keyboard. But that is not the reason that I returned it for a refund. The keyboard sucked, backlit or not.

I just got his laptop and yes it does have a back-lit keyboard. The back light is red on black keys with white lettering. Looks pretty awesome.

The keyboard is not backlit. I touch type and know where the keys are but on occasion when my husband uses it he just tips the screen down a little and the light of the screen is sufficient to see the keys.

Yes the keyboard is backlit. You might be also interested to know that the screen has a matte finish.

No. The keyboard is not backlight. I'm guessing that if the keyboard were to be, the battery would be consumed a lot faster. Since I received my keyboard, I have yet to recharge it. So that's a plus to not having the keyboard lit up.

Yes, the keyboard is illuminated. You can actually change the keyboard to a variety of colors. There are also lights along the front which the colors can be also changed.

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.

Yes the keyboard is back lit, it goes dark when not using it to conserve battery life, but as soon as something is touche it lights up.
