I was just thinking this morning how my ideal laptop would be an exact replica of my Macbook Pro 13, but with a sensible keyboard and Windows 10.
This gets so close. It even has a real honest to jeebus Delete key. But then it punts on pageup/pagedn/home/end, leaving them as the terrible modified arrow keys that ruin Macs for me.
Fix that (and give it 32gb ram and a 1TB hard drive like a real computer) and I want one.

- imron 10y agoThe ctrl key also seems in a bad place if you're the kind of person who uses keyboard shortcuts a lot e.g. ctrl-c, ctrl-x and ctrl-v will all involve significant hand movements to achieve.
- crishoj 10y agoRemapping CAPS LOCK as CTRL is the first thing I do when setting up a new laptop.
- criddell 10y agoME TOO. CAPS LOCK IS THE KIND OF KEY YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO HIT ONCE EVERY TIME YOU RESTART. THE CONTROL KEY IS USED MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY.
- pritambaral 10y agoWhy do you need to hit the CapsLock key when you restart?
- criddell 10y agoYOU'RE RIGHT. I SHOULD SCRIPT THAT.
- bryanlarsen 10y agoNo, the control key is in exactly the right spot. Don't use a finger to hit the control key, use the meat of your hand. This only works if control is in the far corner.
- imron 10y agoThat's even more impossible, especially if I want to do something like ctrl-z to undo, or ctrl-shift-z to redo.
