    I see the NP8131 and NP8151 on XoticPC but there's no indication of a backlit keyboard. Will that be unique to Ivy Bridge?

    xotic's specs aren't the official specs of the laptops because they're aren't technically released yet. The new intel chipset is still under NDA until sunday so the resellers don't have official configuration pages up yet. As Ryan stated:

    NP8131 (P151EM) won't have a backlit option
    NP8151 (P150EM) and NP8171 (P170EM) will have backlit keys
