I just remapped F1 to do the same thing as Esc in my .vimrc.

  This is a point worth making louder, I think. If you don't like your keyboard, change it! The symbols on the keycaps are only suggestions, not mandates. Usually, the best counterargument against this point is that you want to be able to use anybody's keyboard, and I will concede in practice that can be an issue. But when it comes to the outer bit of a laptop keyboard, you've already lost that point anyhow, since it seems as if no two laptops are the same. (It's not true, of course, but it seems that way.) So, go nuts on the remapping. The downside there is that there may not be an acceptable remapping. If you don't like the PgUp/PgDn on the side, as shown in the picture, there may not be anything you'd like. I had a laptop with that layout and truthfully I preferred it to the one I have now, which has the standard layout of Ins/Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn, but has them with half-height keys in the upper right. I preferred the full-sized PgUp and PgDn keys on the side. Give the default layout a chance, you might be surprised.
