Q: Questionwhat is backlit keyboard?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Backlit keyboard is a keyboard that illuminates when the lighting is low or none at all so you are still able to see all the keys; On this Sony the keyboard is sensored to light up when the lighting is low. I love it and will not own a laptop now without it.

Q: QuestionI have been told that this unit comes with a recovery disk from Sony. Is this true?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I didn't receive any when I purchased it. You many be able to contact Sony and ask but I highly doubt they'll give you them for free .. I would suggest making them yourself or buying them from Best Buy if you don't feel like doing so.

Q: QuestionCD Recovery Disc / Turbo BoostI just bought this laptop 2 days ago in PA's bestbuy. I've been googling how to use the turbo boost feature to increase the procesor speed (since its only @1.73). I enabled it at the BIOS (f2 thing), but what more should I do to adjust it? or it is automatically?.... Also, I tried making the recovery discs, in case something happens to my laptop, but it always give me an error, is there something I need to know about this? special cds or something? Thanks in advance.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The turbo boost is for the most part automatic.. It kicks in more often when you begin to use more programs or doing things more often on your computer.. It essentially keeps track of those things and kicks in when you do more common things like open a specific program or boot up your comp.. theres a widget you can get from intel to see when this happens. As far as making recovery discs you need to be using either blu-ray discs which I would recommend or dvd discs. If your still having persistent problems let me know. Hope this somewhat answers your questions
