I not missing the little "flips itself back up before you can get the cable plugged in" cover, that's for sure!

Haven't tried out the backlit keyboard yet, as I've been working in full light. Since I've found that my old laptop was really too big to use on an airplane (at least on Delta, with planes that have less room between you and the seat in front of you than most), I guess it will mostly be useful in darkened meeting rooms and for the occasional "reading/responding to email while watching TV" session.
