Is the power management of Apple MackBook Pro far superior to the MateBook, cause Apple does not forbid changing the keyboard backlight settings?

Dear Customer,
If the ambient light is strong, but the keyboard backlight is not automatically turned on, it may be because that you have manually turned off the backlight, causing the keyboard backlight does not turn on automatically.
According to the design mechanism of the keyboard backlight, whether the keyboard backlight is turned on is determined by the ambient light sensor.
- When you have stayed in an environment with strong ambient light for more than 2 seconds, the keyboard backlight turns off automatically. - When you have stayed in an environment with weak ambient light for more than 2 seconds, the keyboard backlight turns on automatically. - In any light environment, you can press the backlight button F3 on the keyboard in Hotkey mode (default) to adjust the backlight brightness or turn off the backlight. Alternatively, you can press the Fn key on the keyboard in Function key mode to turn on the indicator on the Fn key. Then, press F3 to manually adjust the backlight brightness or turn off the backlight. - In any light environment, if you do not press the keyboard in 15 seconds, the keyboard backlight turns off automatically. When you operate the keyboard again, the backlight brightness is resumed.
