STAPLES AD SAID BACKLIT KEYBOARD BUT....

BMIL

Just bought a new Aspire E15 E5-553-11PT from Staples this week.  The listing stated that this model featured a backlit keyboard.   Doesn't seem to be the case.  ***???   Now what do I do...

contact Staples and give it back with a refund if it's false advertisement...

Hi BMIL,
This model is shipped with a non-backlight keyboard (100% sure) so it's a false ad.

Just to let you know that Newegg also advertises it as coming with a backlit keyboard.   Probably an error in the spec sheet.  But don't know for sure where the mixup happened.

This model may come with either a nonbacklit or backlit keyboard.

Phantom KB CHICONY LV5T_A51B LV5T Total number of keypads  103-/104-/107-key FineTip backlit keyboard with independent standard numeric keypad, international anguage support, power button. Maybe the ad meant "backlit keyboard capable" ?Jack E/NJ

The mistake comes from the Acer datasheet:

So that means SG has the mistake too?  Jack E/NJ
