Does the X61T have a ThinkLight? I was looking at it yesterday and didn't notice the opening for the light .

The tablet does not have a Thinklight.

As to why, the lid on the tablet is flat inside for use as a... tablet. There's no lip on the edge where the ThinkLight is located on other models.

Thinklight is something I really missed on a x tablet.

Well, I miss it, too, but where do you suggest they put one? (And, no, I'm not a backlit keyboard fan.)

You can buy a very inexpensive USB powered light to clip on your screen when you need it. I have one, works fine, though I wish someone would make a "flood" version. It seems with all these small lights that they are very bright in one spot, and your eyes adjust to that spot, making the rest hard to see...
For example:

Why couldn't they have buried a light in the lid catch? That sticks out when the lid is open, perfect place for it. LEDs are tiny, one could be made to fit in there.
