One problem with non-Mac and non-Lenovo/IBM laptops is that they don't have keyboard lights. At night when trying to work in complete darkness on your great little laptop, it's aggravating to not be able to see the keys. Some say, "Yeah, well, I'm a touch-typist," but the reality is that if you use different keyboards in a day (I do), then you're left guessing where the special keys are like page up, down, volume, etc. So, by using glow-in-the-dark key labels, you can get around this.
I just ordered a pack for $14.95 USD. I recommend if you use a non-Mac or non-Lenovo/IBM laptop in the dark -- that you get one of these.

[EDIT: Unfortunately, I don't recommend these anymore. I thought these keys would glow in the dark, but evidently they do not. They're really only suited if you already have some dim lighting near you -- at that, they are fantastic. But if you're sitting in a completely dark room with only your laptop screen, you won't really see these keys very well. Instead, consider LatKey.com. I contacted them and asked about getting a set of glow-in-the-dark stickers that are geared more for laptops -- giving me a Fn key as well as a Euro symbol. I told them I was in the USA, and they oddly told me to get the Spanish version because it also included all the F1-F12 keys as well. Oh, well, whatever works is good with me.]
