That’s why you should choose your device based on other criteria, so I advise you to check out my lists of the best ultrabooks on the market, best gaming ultra-portables, best budget options or best convertibles. Update : Pretty much all the new ultrabooks offer backlit keyboards as standard these days, with the exception of some of the most affordable versions. I’ll also add some rows on how good the keyboard actually is, as I do find this more important than anything else. With ultrabooks, a backlit keyboard is not a given, but there are several devices that feature one, as you’ll find out from the rows below. But I do agree that they can come in handy when having to use the laptop in dim light and perhaps once you get used to this feature, you’ll want it on all your laptops.
Now, I’m not really a big fan of backlit, or also called illuminated keyboards, mainly because I never type in the dark.
