hi guys, just got my new mbp 17 today..very happy about it..

A question about the backlit keyboard colour. In some pictures it has blue backlit and some are white. Which type of mbp got the blue light ?
 
The ones who also have owners that don't check their white balance :) . I think they are all the same, the photos just make them look different.
 
Definitely the US version, definitely backlit, definitely with keys that are clear to see (engraved in white) rather than the blue of the original. The blue backlight is a deep blue, but the purple backlight is more like a pink. Red is a deep ruby red; it matches or exceeds the red backlight used in the Celestron SkyScout and the telescope hand controller.

Typical newbie trollcrapping.
