I can confirmn that. I'm quite happy with mine. Only problem is
that at 1.7G it's rather hungry (for battery power) - more so if
for reliable audio at low latencies you have to disable the CPU
speed scaling.

Yep. When you first try the 'Thinklight' as it's called it seems
ridiculously weak. But it's just the right intensity to clearly
see the white legends on the black keytops.
I also have a USB light on a flex arm, but rarely use for the
keyboard - it's too much. But fine for scores etc. besides the
computer.
