Does the screen have a backlight?

No, but it shows all the numbers very clearly as shown. This is the best product which I am using. If you have money you can try what ever you want to buy with high technology like showing heart rate etc but if you don't have money like me and if you want some decent product you should buy this.

Yes, the surface touch cover 2 does have backlighting and it is fantastic for doing things in the dark or low light.

It does have a back light, you do have to turn it on, using the "Light" button, the middle button in top row of buttons on the upper right. I did not realize there is a backlight as I have not needed the light. I always use this in my studio. Your question caused me to look. Thanks for asking this question.

No, keyboard is not backlit, but when you open it the screen gives off enough light to see the keyboard.

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.

Nope. Has an LED for Caps Lock and for touchpad "deactivate". But no backlight for keys. Don't type in the dark, anyway it's bad for your eyes :)

No backlight... The only lights on the chassis (aside from the monitor) is the power light and the cable light.

It has a keyboard backlight. See p.29 of the user manual to identify the Adaptive function key that controls it.

No the keyboard is not back lighted. This has been a very good laptop, we have two.

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, it does not. I also own the generation after this and that does not have a backlit screen either. I'm not sure if any of the eInk readers have that feature.

This doesn't have backlights, unless you count the capslock button or screen lock button led as a "backlight."

No backlight just dark numbers against a light background. In good light, the contrast is fine. Great little tool.
