Before backlit keyboards, Lenovo (then operating as IBM) included a tiny LED in the screen bezel and angled down to the keyboard. A revelation (for me ) at the time. I still much prefer a backlit keyboard, but if that is too spendy to be consistent with the objectives of the PBP, maybe something like the bezel LED to illuminate the keyboard could be functional and low enough cost?
But, hey, I'm ready for the PBP with or without key illumination!
