You can add backlit keyboard for $20.
Also add about $50 for the tax

I see that you can upgrade to i5 but what about upgrading the graphics card on this model?

Since its an ultra book you cant upgrade the video card on this model. Your only choice is the Intel hd4000.

Don't fret too much about the video card, the HD 4000 is actually pretty good.

Aren't Ultrabooks supposed to be under three pounds? Like an ASUS Zenbook?

Wait -- that Envy at $629.99 is a pretty sick deal. Better than what I got for BF (Dell XPS 15z with Intel Core i7-2640M @ 2.80GHz and less memory and RAM).
Am I missing something?

Here are the complete specs on the Envy at Best Buy if you want to compare.

Thanks cnlsfg, I compared -- and I think that my BF deal sucked in comparison. Here are the specs on the Dell XPS 15z. The only thing better on the Dell are: 1) screen size (but downside is weight) and 2) 8 cell battery. The processor for the Envy is benchmarked at 7351, versus 4168 for the Dell (higher is better).
So . . . I just bought the Envy and will return the Dell.

The ASUS Zenbook also comes with a super annoying fan that'll definitely drive you crazy. It also provides some free backlight bleeding. (I'm not hating on ASUS here as I am actually an ASUS fan but the Zenbook is expensive and it comes with plenty of unfixed issues.)
