Keyboard lighting is important to me.  Asus laptops were reported to have above average lighting. I  otdered this laptop to replace one I had in the shop.  After several hours of trying I realized  this model did not have lighting capability.  After viewing other models on Amazon I saw one that advertised back lighted keyboard.I feel they should require advertising to say if it is not available when it is not.  This would have saved me many hours of frustration.
