The device does not appear to have a backlight I.e. It does not work in a dark environment.

Yes and no. The unit has a backlight mode. The problem is enabling it requires a two key push button sequence. From that point forward pushing any key briefly illuminates the screen. The unit then defaults back to the unlit mode after some inactive period. I have trouble remembering the key sequence and so can not reliably activate the backlight. Altogether I'd say the key controls throughout this unit are very non intuitive.

No the keyboard has no backlight but the keys are bright white on a black background so are easily visible in low light.

No it does not have a backlight I haven't seen any analog multitesters with a backlight, only digital may have a backlight

Nope. Has an LED for Caps Lock and for touchpad "deactivate". But no backlight for keys. Don't type in the dark, anyway it's bad for your eyes :)

It does have a back light but you only can see it if no other light is available.

Yes it does! The backlit keyboard is very useful as I'm a night person. The screen is 400-nit which is super bright and I have no problems seeing the screen outdoors.

No. It does not. I'm happy with mine. But, if you need backlighting, it won't work for you.

Yes - very nicely backlit I might add. There is also an LED that appears when using the Ethernet cable access.

No. Mine does not seem to have a backlight on the display in any mode or range selection I could try.

No, it is not backlighted, however the white letters on the black key background makes visibility pretty good in low light.

I have several reviews that said there is no backlit display - yet the description of the product says it does have one. Is there a way to activate it or turn it on? Thank you!

No, there is no backlight. Not on the models I have. Mine are 3+ years old.

No backlight, but does have a nice zippered case. Interestingly, it does not come in a cardboard box -- just in the case!

I just got his laptop and yes it does have a back-lit keyboard. The back light is red on black keys with white lettering. Looks pretty awesome.

No, keyboard is not backlit, but when you open it the screen gives off enough light to see the keyboard.
