On Toshiba's website, the specs page for this model says it "does not" have a backlit keyboard. It's easy to tell if it does. This is a quote from their site......."Not all models are equipped with the feature. If your laptop is equipped with the LED Backlit Keyboard feature, the "Z" key will have a Gray keyboard icon on it.To enable/disable the LED Backlit Keyboard, press and hold the "Fn" key while pressing the "Z" key."

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.

Yes this laptop has a backlit keyboard. It stays on when it is plugged in. There are ways to keep it lit when not plugged in.

No it has no backlit keyboard. As for the battery it runs 2.5 hours connected to internet heavily / 3.5 hours airplane mode video playback with dimmed screen.

mm, have owned this laptop for a couple of weeks now, and no, i haven't noticed a backlit keyboard. Unless it's an option which needs to be activated, because i haven't really sat down to study all details to the smallest. But all nites that i worked on it, it wasn't backlit. hope that helps.

It does not appear to. I have not looked into it extensively, there may be a way to switch them on. But the default is not a backlit keyboard.

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.

The battery life really depends on your screens brightness and what your doing on the internet. Watching videos or downloading things will drain the battery more then just posting on facebook or doing research. As for the keyboard, no it doesn't have a backlight which, to me, is the only thing I see wrong with it besides the touch pad. Not sure if its just mine but my touch pad doesn't work properly. Other then that, its a great laptop, im completely satisfied with it.

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.....
