its lights under the keys but not through the letters, the ssd is great. I use it daily and the hinge broke from opening and closing thats my fault. Lasted a year or so of heavy use. I hate the keyboard. There is no cap lock light or numb lock light. doesnt even indicate it . WOW , bad design. However you can get it to beep and if you really google you can get it to display a widget when it changes. No regrets, good picture and speed is good for most programs, i dont think for games. enough usb and hdmi power plug is good. But, in the end good bang for the buck for light to medium users
