    No, it isn't. That's unique to the MacBook Pro at this time (regular MacBooks don't have this either).

    The regular MacBook has never had a backlit keyboard. That's been a feature that has been reserved for the MacBook Pro (and the PowerBook G4 before that).

    For what it's worth, the backlit keyboard is the least of the differentiating factors between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro.
