Sony Vaio Z Series
Like the Apple Macbook Pro, if you’re going hi-end with your laptop purchase and you’re looking for a backlit keyboard, the Sony Vaio Z Series of laptops will deliver a combination of ease of use and high specification, as well as the quality of manufacture that is expected of Sony laptops.

For instance a top model would include 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 CPU, 512GB solid state hard drive and 8GB of RAM, NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M GPU (1GB VRAM) and a 13.1” LED backlit LCD display, and that’s without going into all of the storage and connectivity options.

Dell AlienWare M11x

Dell AlienWare M11xThis distinctive laptop in cosmic black and red features a strong illuminated keyboard, perfect for gaming at night-time or in darkness – and its 11.6” WXGA 1366 x 768 widescreen LCD display is well-matched with the Intel Pentium SU4100 1.3 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM (which can be increased up to 8GB). A 320GB hard disk drive provides storage, although the lack of DVD drive might be a sign of the future of gaming taking place wholly online.

With all of the usual Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ethernet connectivity options included, the Dell AlienWare M11x also includes a card reader, HDMI output (720p) and built in speakers, microphone and 1.3MP webcam. Dual graphics (Mobile Intel GS45 Express Chipset with integrated GPU + GeForce GT 335M graphics with 1 GB dedicated memory) round off this gaming laptop with its backlit keyboard.

Take a typing class then you won't have to look at the keys.....

Apparently touch-typing is harder to master than is a Masters degree in eco-shakedownomics.

Toshiba....

I was going to suggest Dell. Go to the small business part and look at the Lattitude line.

will do - the search only picked up Alienware (now Dell's high end line)

I love my macbook, run bootcamp and throw windoze on it... Best of both worlds...
