Great PC. There is no backlit keyboard, but that hasn't bothered me even though my main laptop does have a backlit keyboard. I think in dark situations, I use it more as a tablet then a keyboard anyways, so maybe that's why I haven't noticed it.
I've had 3 friends buy this after I did and haven't heard a single complaint from any of them.
The $479 price is actually what it was a few weeks back. MS raised it to $499 and now it is back to $479.
I ordered a couple of these back then, and they are really nice. Even though they are m3 chips, the performance is really good. There was lots of talk about this particular m3 chip back in the other thread, and many pointed out that this m3 CPU is actually about the performance of an i5 due to no throttling. Also, this is fan-less, so there is ZERO NOISE.
I recommend it. Wish it was cheaper though.

Pretty decent price that already includes a 256gb SSD. Core M3 is not going to win any races though. But for a small, light 13" 1080p laptop with 8gb and SSD... yeah.
I would buy this but I bought a similar Dell with similar specs last year for more... and it didn't come with SSD.
