is the N5901 backlit?

No it is not. I would recommend the n5902. I have had both and the n5902's features make it well worth the extra few bucks.

I am not using this option, but the display is not backlit in the normal mode of operation.

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

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

Back light can be off, low, medium, high and "breathing" mode, where it fades from brightest to dimmest and back again.I had no problems with BIOS and this is the keyboard I used to set up my last build.

No, the key pad is not backlit but I have no problem seeing the numbers at night since the background of the numbers is a fairly bright white

I don't know what a "back lit keyboard" is. There is no kind of light displaying the keyboard.

I have the 424 and it does have backlight, I don't know about your particular one.

No , it is not backlit. However the yellow color of the keys make it quite bright to even see it in low light.

It's not backlit. But it has not been too big a hassle. Works great and connected directly without any programming

No, this Lenovo does not have a backlit keyboard. We do enjoy the ideapad very much however. Robin

No the keyboard is not back lit. You need to look for it in the description. I bought one of the more souped up versions two years ago with all the bells and whistles. I bought this one as a Christmas gift. Small differences one of them being the backlight. I didn't think it would matter for the person I bought it for and it didn't. But when I set it up I noticed it. I like the backlit board better. If your really want that feature they do have them just make sure you find it in the description of the item being sold. Not the generic Dell ad that they show you on the sites.

Yes the ENVY model I bought is backlit as specified. This refurbished computer that bought is embedded with an adware in the operating system. This embedded adware cannot be removed. I tried the antivirus, malwarebyte and adware software. It was only remove after I updated the OS to windows 8.1. Please proceed with caution when buying refurbished pc as they may embed the OS with an adware. My bad experience dictates that I will no longer buy a refurbished computer.

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now because it hit my spam folder. The backlit keyboard I have is is n5902, and the ones I have without the back-lighting are n5901. I really wanted to like the backlit one, but the touchpad just doesn't work nearly as well as the rollerball on the older model. Hope that still helps. Thanks! ~D

Not quite. It has one light for the windows button (which on mine was leaking thru the LCD) and pretty dim. The back and search buttons did not have it.

No, it has a little pop out light at the top of the display to light the keyboard, the light is insufficient. This computer is a powerful tough machine with lots of top end features but it lacks a backlight keyboard. I highly recommend this computer what it lacks in style is more than made up in power and functionability.
