Question 1

Does this laptop have the multicolor keyboard backlight which can be customized with different colors, patterns, effects, and etc... from steel series?

Accepted Answer

Previous answer is misleading. The keyboard has a grand total of 3 LEDs, which do a good job of lighting up the entire keyboard, but means you get 3 colors. The colors mix well, meaning you can use, for instance, green on the left, red in the middle, and blue on the right, and it looks like a decent rainbow. Alternatively, you can set them all to the same color and it will light up the entire keyboard very well. However, you cannot customize any further than these 3 colors and their brightness, meaning that you cannot actually make your own patterns. The laptop comes with 5 built-in effects to choose from, but other than that you cannot add any more or create your own.

Question 2

How noisy are the fans on this laptop?

Accepted Answer

Can't be heard under regular use.  During heavy gaming you can hear them but not noticeable over any headphones or sound that you might have coming out of the great speakers on this laptop.
