I really wanted to like this notebook. I purchased it in December and really have not had a chance to use until this week (I have a fully equipped home office and pc). I have to travel this week and thought this would be a good time to try it out. What I found was that it does not have a backlit keyboard as stated in the item description. I have tried everything, every recommended key combination - all to no avail. I finally noticed that there is not a keyboard key. It is of course too late to return or exchange it and I am just out of luck. Be warned, if you want a backlit keyboard DO NOT BUY THIS NOTEBOOK. I was unable to get any help or support.
