    Hi all,

    I'm now shopping for a lappy for my wife. I have the G51vx-rx05 which I love, but I got it refurb, and I'd prefer to get her a new laptop.

    I've seen a variety of asus models that I think she'd really like, but the one problem I'm running into is figuring out which ones have backlit keyboards (a feature she really would like).

    Is there a list somewhere of all of the current asus models that have backlit keyboards? I'll sort thru the other featuresets in terms of what I'm looking for, but this one feature seems a bit hard to narrow down as so many sites don't mention that aspect of the KB...

    Thanks for the link EIement. I was hoping something in the N line might have been, but it looks like the G51 series will be the option (U series is too low power CPU unfortunately)...
