Which Powerbooks have the backlit keyboard?
I'm looking to buy a new Powerbook and I was planning on getting the 15 inch. My question is: Does the 15 inch have the backlit keyboard or is it only the 17 inch?
If it's only the 17, does anyone know why? I would actually wait to buy the 15-inch if there were a possibility a new backlit keyboard 15 would be introduced soon.
I was just curious.
Thanks in advance!

The 17" kb looks the same as the 15, but I think the sensor might be somewhere else on the PB - You would risk having a keyboard that flashed in sequence with your hand movements if the sensor was somewhere between the keys.
there is a chance that the new 15 will have the backlit display. but it may be reserved for the Lapzilla since it is so new. you may want to wait a month and see what the new keyboard is like.
though i would not buy a 17 just for the keyboard. in the long run firewire 800 will be more useful. Though i must say so far this 17 is the most stable machine i have ever had.
