Backlit Keyboard Laptops

The Toshiba Chromebook 2 Features a Handy Backlit Keyboard

The Toshiba Chromebook 2 laptop has received some intriguing updates. It was already one of the best notebooks to operate on Google's own desktop operating system. But now, with the addition of all-new improved processors and a nifty backlit keyboard, this laptop has well and truly elevated its game.

The Toshiba Chromebook 2 will be available in two versions. The first uses a 5th generation Intel Celeron processor while the other uses a Core i3 chip.

It's the backlit keyboard that really makes this particular computing device however. Chromebooks are usually budget offerings and it's quite rare to see a backlit keyboard on one of these, a feature that makes this laptop most desirable indeed. As a bonus, the device's aesthetic cues are the same as its predecessors, as Toshiba has chosen not to fix something that isn't broken.
