    I'm looking to buy a Sandy bridge laptop soon and was wondering if any of the new Asus have backlit keyboards? (dont want a g53 or g73)

    I looked around and really couldnt find anything, so i figured i'd ask here to be sure :)

    Only the G53 and G73 have backlit keyboards, no other systems have them. You can still find the K50IJ-BNC5 refurbished but that is the only other model still on sale with a backlit keyboard as far as I know.

    You could get a UL30 and follow Soulsaber's How-To to mod a backlight into it :D
