The product details say that the item weighs 6.6 pounds. Is that number accurate? Also, does this laptop come with a backlit keyboard?

No. According to Lenovo's specification, the item weight starts from 3.9 lbs. In practice, I think this laptop weighs even less if it is a non touch screen version. The Touch screen version could have higher weight. Hope this answers your question.

The 5.3 pounds listed in the Amazon item description is the item's shipping weight. The actual weight of the laptop is 3.9 as the official website states.

I just got his laptop and yes it does have a back-lit keyboard. The back light is red on black keys with white lettering. Looks pretty awesome.

I purchased this computer for someone in our office. It had problems with the screen and didn't function properly, so we returned it (it was purchased in February '13 and returned it within days). Sorry to say, I have no idea what the weight was.

I notice the shipping weight is 6.8 -- maybe that explains the discrepancy between the listed and actual (3.45) laptop weight.

It is 5.3 pounds. The extra weight might include packaging and the charger and all that but the laptop itself is 5.3 pounds.

The battery life really depends on your screens brightness and what your doing on the internet. Watching videos or downloading things will drain the battery more then just posting on facebook or doing research. As for the keyboard, no it doesn't have a backlight which, to me, is the only thing I see wrong with it besides the touch pad. Not sure if its just mine but my touch pad doesn't work properly. Other then that, its a great laptop, im completely satisfied with it.

C'mon, don't be lazy. You can find the weight in Lenovo webpage. I think it was around 3-4 pounds. In practice it feels heavy compared to other ultra books. It feels solid too.
