    I've been googling, browsing and reading reviews to no avail for the last few weeks.

    Can anyone tell me if they have or are aware of a small (13") laptop on the market (was hoping for Toshiba or Dell) that has an illuminated keyboard, please? Ever since I saw someone using it lit up I've wanted one and now I have a good reason to buy.

    (Pref 64bit, dual core, lightweight, not needed for gaming)

    It is what it's.

    Not generally standard on ultraportables tbh. Best options so off the top of my head:

    Macbook pro
    Sony vaio z series (if you have money to burn!)
    dell vostro v13
    dell adamo
    dell xps 13
    Toshiba Portege R700
    Samsung Q430 (14inch i think)
    Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 13inch ???

    V13 and R700 may be your best options.

    Best look at buisness end laptops as they generally disregard dedicated gpus for bonus features such as backlit keyboards, fingerprint readers etc.

    Or alternativly wait for the mass release of Sandy Bridge models circa march.

    Samsung Q430 (14inch i think)
    Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 13inch ??? [I'll check this out]
