The keys are backlit and they're a little bright let's go ahead and turn my light off I don't know if you guys can see see that there but they are back lit so super cool there
It does have some vents here on the side on the back uh that looked really really nice I like the color it does look gray but I'm going to tell you it's it's like a light blue

Weaknesses

The display is not 4K but hey it's perfect enough for what I'm doing
There are two different kinds of charging ports, which can be confusing
I wish the backlit keys were a bit brighter, but they're just right for a darker room
It was pricey when I ordered it ($1,100), and even now it's still quite expensive ($1,500)
The laptop has some vents on the side and back that might get in the way of your lap or desk
