Does the 23426QU have the Thinklight in the lid that shines a light down onto the keyboard? Our T420's have that feature and our Officers love it.

Yes it does. I believe this is standard with all Thinkpads that don't have a backlighted keyboard.

No, this model doesn't have a battery in the keyboard ~ as the TF 101 did. it probably was a trade off to keep the price so reasonable (a guess.)

Hey there buyer. As Endres and Sancho have said previously, the only lights that are on the keyboard are in the usual place in the top right of the keyboard for the num lock, caps lock, etc. lights. They are blue in color, and to be honest, I did not really find them too distracting or too bright. I'm in a relatively well lit room, so it's probably just environment. And the entire keyboard does NOT light up, it's just the top right corner.

mm, have owned this laptop for a couple of weeks now, and no, i haven't noticed a backlit keyboard. Unless it's an option which needs to be activated, because i haven't really sat down to study all details to the smallest. But all nites that i worked on it, it wasn't backlit. hope that helps.

No, it has a little pop out light at the top of the display to light the keyboard, the light is insufficient. This computer is a powerful tough machine with lots of top end features but it lacks a backlight keyboard. I highly recommend this computer what it lacks in style is more than made up in power and functionability.

It doesn't, although the ThinkLight works better for me as it illuminates the keys and surrounding work area.

Yes it does. Pressing the function key Fn and space bar turns on the back light feature for the keyboard.

The ux21a-1ak3 is supposed to have the lighted keyboard. BTW, the microsoft store has the new model on sale for $599 with free shipping, but it has been out of stock. I wonder if it has already been discontinued?

No, it does not. Often the screen will provide enough light to see the keys, but if you plan on working in the dark fairly often, then you will want the backlit keys.

Uhm. By blue, only the insignia at the bottom lights up blue. If you want a keyboard where there is a light behind the keys that lights blue then this isnt it. Just a good old mechanical keyboard with the razer symbol at the bottom pulsating blue

Sorry, didn't keep this keyboard to say for sure. Found this on Youtube explaining the illumination features. But, maybe there's a company telephone number that you can call? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPMh9yzAxoo

Hi, the keyboard is back lit. The battery life is reasonably good just over a couple of hours.

Yes it does have a keyboard that lights up. But please be aware the keyboard is not the best, as noted on other reviews it has a large amount of flex on the left side around the letter "D".

Nope. Has an LED for Caps Lock and for touchpad "deactivate". But no backlight for keys. Don't type in the dark, anyway it's bad for your eyes :)

Yes, it does have a blue-backlit keyboard of selectable brightness but unfortunately the backlight cannot be left on all the time. It lights about a second after starting to type which can be a little frustrating.

This model does not come with backlit keyboard. Otherwise, this is a fine entry level Thinkpad model

No lighted keyboard. I would check with the HP site and check with them for what models have them.
