is the keyboard backlit?

No - but the screen shines brightly enough that even in a pitch black room you can see the keys. I wouldnt let that be a determining factor.

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.

Yes... The keyboard is back-lit and can be turned on or off with a key-stroke.

No it does not have a backlit keyboard. The batter lasts about 6 hours. It is super fast with the solid state hard drive and takes seconds to turn on. I am happy with mine so far. I hope this helps!

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.

Mine is. Pushing F5 toggles the backlight on or off. I bought the refurbished model here on Amazon. I believe the standard model does not have backlit keyboard.

It is not backlit. I love the touch-screen interface with Windows 8 on this computer though :) Good Luck

I don not own it, but reading the specs it certainly has a backlit keyboard (that you cannot turn off)

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.

There is no lighting in the keyboard at all, however, the screen is brightly lit so I have no problem at all seeing the keyboard. Hope this answers your question.

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.

For some reason when I bought it I thought the keyboard was backlit but it is not. I bought my wife a AirMac which has a lighted keyboard
