Looking for a laptop

I don't know if this is the right forum for this question, but here goes. I'm looking for a laptop (Windows) that has a backlit keyboard. So far the only one that has been recommended to me has been the HP HDX-16t. Can anyone recommend any others from either HP or other manufactures?

Thanks.

Well the first thing that comes to mind is the Macbook Pro - but that's not exactly cheap.

I think Dell has a few laptops with backlit keys, I think the latitudes have that option, and the "Studio" models, whatever that means (I'm not a fan of Dell's faux-chic nomenclature). I know their Alienware stuff does.

Try "backlit laptop keyboards" in google, there's a cnet roundup but I think the page is broken or something, they only have one model listed!

I though the HDX-16t looked good when I was poking around a few weeks ago. 1080p screen, 7200 rpm drive, decent video, fast processors, blu-ray, spare 12-cell battery, they look very impressive and not too expensive even with all of those features.

pnjunction's right, the HDX is a very nice looking laptop. Not cheap, but it seems to come filled with goodies.

The HP is a good looking unit, but it's a bit pricier than what I want to spend. I was hoping for other choices. And I'm looking for a non-Mac laptop.

Thanks again.

The asus G60 does.

I got no idea on the price for the g60. I have a g50 and I am very happy with it.
