Does the Apple logo still light up on the MacBook Air whenever the screen is on? Like this:

This is a feature that Apple adds to it's laptops to enable people with friends to work in pairs... and light up each other's non-backlit keyboards.

That sounds great in theory. But how exactly would the two friends use the glowing apple to light up the other's keyboard? It would be physically impossible to have the apple on the back of the screen to face towards the other's keyboard whilst having the same for the other computer. Yes, I know I'm over thinking this to a great degree.

You obviously missed the sarcasm... or you haven't been reading the "backlit keyboard" threads.

So if you want to over-think it... you can extend the thought to more than "two friends". :)

Actually, I didn't miss the sarcasm, I just felt like overanalyzing something :)

And actually, you did. Pairs would mean that there are just two of them ;)

Good points. Upon further analysis... the obvious answer is the two people just take turns typing.... or of course, get more friends.
