    I've read that the keyboards are easy to replace in this system, my question is does anyone make any backlit keyboards that are compatible?

    I don't think there's enough clearance between keys for that with scissor type laptop keyboards, though it would be a cool idea.

    for what I have in mind glare wouldnt be an issue,I would want it to be pretty dim, as not to be distracting from what your working on, just enough to be useable in the dark, it gets tedious angling the screen down at the keys to find the one your looking for
