Does this really have a backlit keyboard light? I heard yes and no

YES! It definitely has a backlit keyboard. It turns itself off after not using the keyboard for a while, maybe after one minute of non-use. But as soon as you touch a key it light up again. The lighting is quite a nice feature. I've had my Aspire M5 for several weeks now and am very happy with my choice. No complaints.

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.

Yes, love it!! I will not buy another laptop without it. It makes it a lot easier to work or play in a room where others do not want lights on. I.e. dorm room or up with sick child, etc.

I bought this about a two months ago and can confirm that it does not have a backlit keyboard.

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

Well, it does have lights when the keyboard or touchpad is activated. I bought it because of the flexibility of touchpad n keyboard combination. At the time I bought that, it doesn't have much option with the combo I'm looking for. Also the price should have drop by now. I bought it for about 100++

I just got his laptop and yes it does have a back-lit keyboard. The back light is red on black keys with white lettering. Looks pretty awesome.

Yes it does. It actually has a light button that gives you three different backlit key brightness levels. You can see this button immediately to the right of the space bar.

No lights, no back lite, however I find it one of the most comfortable keyboards to type on vs all tested wireless/wired keyboards tested; in addition, there is no volume control on keyboard, thank you.

Hello, no it does not have a backlit keyboard. Hope this helps. But it's a fantastic laptop!

No the keyboard has no backlight but the keys are bright white on a black background so are easily visible in low light.

No the keyboard is not backlit, it's a decent laptop in spite of this though.

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

No, it doesn't. The screen has a range of light intensity... I never thought about needing a lighted keyboard, to be honest.

I don't know what a "back lit keyboard" is. There is no kind of light displaying the keyboard.

No, this Lenovo does not have a backlit keyboard. We do enjoy the ideapad very much however. Robin

YES, it does have a backlit keyboard and it is quite wonderful. Also, I find it is very easy to use despite the low-profile keys and my wrists do not tire when I type for long periods.
