    it's odd that they'd omit keyboard backlighting, but then go as far as putting a led around the power/fingerprint button.

      exactly, also would rather have a backlit keyboard than a touchscreen.

      Yeah in 2022 it makes no sense for a brand new laptop. Maybe if it ran Chrome OS or Windows 10 it could work but definitely not Windows 11.

      Simply no excuse and with the backlit keyboard it would have been a much easier sell. Really cannot understand it especially for the higher versions. They have missed a sale from me and I suspect many others. In the UK we can have 16 hours of darkness in Winter and being able to save lighting in these expensive times as well as if others are watching the TV in darkness, it is major stupid by MS.

Alternatives like HP's pavilion line have awful, cheap build quality and won't last very long either. The Surface Go 3 is the closest thing you're going to get to MacBook quality at this price and that's perfectly fine for most people since any other decently made and reliable Windows laptop is going to cost upwards of $1200.
