    So i was looking at the updated Envy 15 Beats Edition and saw this line:

    Fusion of art and science

    * Reduced glare in the dark via low-luminance indicators on the keys

    So is "low luminance indicators on the keys" another way of saying "backlit keyboard"? Because if it is, i think i'll be grabbing the Envy 15 over the Envy 14.

    They do! The LEDs on the shiftlock key and wifi key are definitely less bright than the other status leds in the side (at least at my E14). Unfortunally, they forgot about the LED on the power button which is still bright (but not as bright that it might annoy me in any way).
