Yes, turns on when you power up. I have not figured out how to manually turn it on yet.

This model does not have a back lit keyboard. But you can use the touch screen's keyboard which is lit.

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.

Depends on the sellers, mine does not have one. So if you don't see anything about backlit keyboard in the spec, then just assume it does not come with one.

It does have a backlit keyboard. Hold the FN key (next to the space bar) and the space bar and it will come on. You can turn it off the same way.

No it does not have a backlit keyboard...just a normal keyboard, but it feels very nice when typing. If you want a backlit keyboard, you can buy a wireless keyboard that has backlit which I did purchase since it is easier for me to type.

No backlighting at all. The only blue LED's it has is for the caps lock, and a couple others, otherwise there are no lights on the keyboard.

negative, it does not.... I actually keep this laptop shut, hooked up to a large tv and use a backlit keyboard, almost like it is a desktop.

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 backlit keyboard. I do like how the screen doesn't dim if the laptop is not plugged in. There are alternative ways to lighting a keyboard that span from DIY to purchasable additions.

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.

No it does not have a back lit key board. Just purchased a week ago. But its a fast laptop. And i wasnt planning on working in the dark.

It doesn't have a backlit keyboard. The battery usually lasts me 6 hours of light use and 4-5 with WiFi, bright screen, and heavy use.

No the keyboard has no backlight but the keys are bright white on a black background so are easily visible in low light.

To my knowledge only their gaming laptops are backlit. I wish Asus was petitioned to add a backlit keyboard to all their higher end products.

I bought this about a two months ago and can confirm that it does not have a backlit keyboard.

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