Back-lit keyboard ? Can someone who has bought the Dell Studio 1555 at Amazon confirm if it has a back-lit keyboard or not ?

You can custom build it to have or not have backlit keyboard. This feature tacks on a good bit to price, but worth it!

There are 3-4 different backlighting modes...one of which is completely turned off. No issues entering bios after installation. Had this keyboard for about 6 months and I love it. The only thing that's missing is volume control, but can manage without that.

I agree. Only the power button is backlit. OfficeMax advertises it as a backlit keyboard, but that is wrong. Yikes!

No. The keyboard is not back lit. The LED is located on the side of the body and shines perpendicular to the keys - it's basically a flashlight.

Unlike other sellers here, our version does have a backlit keyboard. So make sure you purchase it from us if you want backlit keyboard. Regards, LGI Electronics, an HP Authorized Reseller

No, backlit keyboards are typically on the ultrabooks from HP that run for a lot more money.

Hi Haley, Acer specs often list LED backlighting, which refers to the screen, and people sometimes confuse it to mean backlighting for the keyboard. Of course anyone who has this computer would know the keyboard is not backlit. I purchased this laptop and I only have one Acer that does have keyboard backlighting, and it cost twice as much as this laptop. The less expensive models like this one typically will not have keyboard backlighting.

These laptops come in different configurations. This is why you might see that some have a back-lit keyboard and some don't. Sellers usually list these type of features since they are considered extra and add-in to the value of the item. In the case of this model it does not have a back-lit keyboard.

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.

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

I know it has back-lit keyboard when it's plugged into power source. Couple of times when I used the computer powered by battery only, I noticed that the backlighting did not come on.

Sorry for the delay, Sidney. Yes, it has a keyboard which seems to stay lit after reboot until the machine is put to sleep. Waking it up again will not restore the lights until your next reboot. I haven't found a solution for this issue yet, but don't find it very bothersome.

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.

No, the key board is not back lit. It's a nice keyboard if you have small hands.

Hi Wendy. No back lit keyboard and yes, Windows 7. That's one of the main reasons I purchased it. Great machine. If you buy it, make sure you purchase a Logitech wireless mouse and disable the ACER touch pad using Fn and F7 simultaneously. That touch pad is so sensitive it will drive you nuts.
