Does this model have a back-lit keyboard?

No; however, it's not something I miss. If you're going to play it as a tablet you're keyboard is folded back. If you're going to use it as a laptop the light from the screen should suffice. It's all about preferences. I love this thing.

No it doesn't. When I bought it I thought I might miss having a backlit KB but found I didn't really need it.

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.

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 :)

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

No-the keyboard does NOT light up. I don't think I ever have had one that did.

No, and the keyboard is pricey. Some say it's about $50, but the cheapest I've found is about $100 for a hot pink one that MAY be backlit. The list price is $130 for a black, bacllit one.

No, there is no backlight. Not on the models I have. Mine are 3+ years old.

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 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, this Lenovo does not have a backlit keyboard. We do enjoy the ideapad very much however. Robin

Yes it does have a keyboard that lights up. But please be aware the keyboard is not the best, as noted on other reviews it has a large amount of flex on the left side around the letter "D".

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.

No, it does not. Often the screen will provide enough light to see the keys, but if you plan on working in the dark fairly often, then you will want the backlit keys.

Yes, the 6162 has back lit keys that stay softly lighted. The display lights brightly when the keys are used, but times out automatically.

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.

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.
