The black exterior notebook features a red Beats logo and a striking black keyboard that is backlit in red. Solo HD Headphones – with an HP exclusive red design – are also available via an optional bundle.

It features a radiance backlit keyboard which is a new technology developed by HP to provide high-end keyboard illumination using individual Led’s dedicated to each keycap. One great little feature is that the keyboard works with an advanced proximity sensor to illuminate when it detects a user approaching the notebook and deactivate after the user leaves. Interesting!
