Does it have a lit background in the keyboard as other HP Envy's have? YES...HP says it has a "BrightView LED-backlit display".

I am not sure what the others are like but I don't notice any background light on the keyboard itself. The "HP" lights up on the back of the screen and that is about 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.

I am not familiar with other models, but yes, a soft blue light is just visible under the keyboard.

I'm not sure exactly what your asking but if you mean that the keyboard is lit up then my answer is no it's not.

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.

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

Yes, the keyboard does light up in the dark!! When we got it, it was on by default so we never had to set/change anything for it to work. Good PC at a good price; nothing wrong with it! My Daughter uses it for Schoolwork and other stuff, and is very happy with it; however it is a bit weak for gaming.....Good luck!

No it does not. I think that is how it is evem the HP envy M6 I bought before does not light up as well and that is not important I think because of the position of the backspace key and the size. I hop that helps

I did miss the backlit keyboard. I often pick up my laptop at night when I'm watching tv in a darker room. This laptop was difficult to use in that environment.

No it's not illuminated. There are small lights at the top of the keyboard that when on indicate Number Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock, that's all.

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

I believe this model does have the backlit keyboard. But it only "lights up" when you actually touch the keys. If you are using touchscreen, the keyboard does not stay lit. Not sure why your touchscreen doesn't work.....

Acer G246HL Abd 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor, great monitor, nice & big and only $154.11! On the HP ENVY, make sure you update all HP & Windows updates! After that the computer works great!

No the keyboard is not backlit, it's a decent laptop in spite of this though.

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, it's not backlit bright enough to type in complete darkness. What they meant by "backlit", is that on the top of the keyboard, it shows if the battery is fully charged, which is illuminated, but far from the degree to see the keyboard in complete darkness.

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

Hello Larry, unfortunately the keyboard is not lit up. I was somewhat disappointed as well because I do a lot of typing at night, but it is a pretty good computer overall. I really do like it, and just to let you know it does get fairly warm so if you get it you might want to get the cooling pad. Hope this helped!

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

No backlight on the keyboard, but the battery life runs at least as long as the other laptops I've used for browsing and docs. You MUST have a laptop cooling fan with it at all times, however. It will overheat without one.
