Hello,
I've purchased this model of laptop A515-51G-87PK which comes with a i7 8th, 1tb hdd+128ssd,mx150, 8gb ram. Bought it from newegg and the image displayed in Acer's webpage is different.
In Acer it shows a backlit keyboard and thinner bezels while Newegg's does not say it has backlit or bezels like this. Also the specifications, size and weight is exactly the same.

Any idea of what exactly did I buy?

    Backlit KB is a extra cost option on this model. Jack E/NJ

    The KB backlight is an extra cost option that's only offered on the ACER website, NOT the Newegg website. Jack E/NJ

    Could you give us the first ten characters of the laptop serial number? Only the first ten.

    Hi, I decided to cancel the purchase as I'm not sure what this laptop I'm buying has. Somebody on Newegg said it did come with backlit keyboard but now here I'm told it does not. Don't understand why Acer's would make an specific model number with different specs and same number.

    >>>Somebody on Newegg said it did come with backlit keyboard>>>

    If you got this in writing from Newegg sales, then the option would be included.  Jack E/NJ
