    Hi all. I did a search and did not see this topic. Can anyone list Asus laptops that contain a backlit keyboard?

    Thanks!

    None that aren't G-series. These are all EOL, sorry:

    U80V
    U20A
    K50IJ-BNC5 (no other variant of K50, this was a special Best Buy model)

    There are rumors that the Ivy Bridge refresh of the UX series will have a backlit keyboard. I remember reading (although I can't remember where, maybe DigiTimes) a quote from an Asus executive that they hadn't gotten a design for such a slim backlit keyboard finished in time for the UX31/UX21.
