    Hello,
    Just bought one of these laptops second hand but an not sure about a few aspects of its specification, it's an English UK model. I can't seem to find the original spec sheet on Sony's site and when I check the specs on various other websites, they seem to contradict each other.

    For anybody with this exact model, could you please confirm the following?

    Does this have a backlit keyboard? It seems that there's barely any website that cares to state whether it does or not and the ones that do either say yes it does or vice versa!

    Also, does it come with the Qualcomm Gobi 2000 3G chipset? It seems there's a general agreement amongst websites that there is but I just wanted to be sure.

    Is there bluetooth built in?

    Lastly, what wireless card model does this use?

    Any feedback would be most appreciated.

    Mark.

    Wow, I couldn't find that anywhere! I must be blind as a bat. Thank you! :)

    It does have a backlit keyboard, yay!

    That answers all my questions in one hit. Fantastic!
