Considering a X131 - how is the backlit keyboard?
I've owned a few thinkpads over the years, and am considering buying an X131 for travel. I've always had the thinklight before and I'm wondering about the backlit keyboards that are on the X131. Have other people been happy with them who have previously had thinklights? I know this question has been raised before but I figured now that the X131 (and other X series models with backlights sans thinklights) has been around for a while there would be more feedback available from owners.

I dunno about you but I own the X131e, which does not have a backlit keyboard or a ThinkLight.
