Compared to most digital electronics they use a lot of power. Presumably some clever design has gone into the LED backlight to allow them to illuminate every key with either a small number of individual LEDs, or lots of high brightness LEDs running far under their rated power. Then the electronics will be designed to supply this power as efficiently as possible. But in any case I expect the power consumption would be noteworthy. I liked the single LED keyboard light on IBM Thinkpads. Very simple, but able to make the keyboard labels nicely visible in the dark (as long as you can find the keys to turn it on :) ). > Couldn't some nice BIOS engineer just add an option to disable keyboard > backlight? :-) Get friendly with one of the Coreboot developers? -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
