I could never get used to the weird placement of the fn button, to the far left of the keyboard. Many other laptops also have this, it's a dealbreaker for me. All shortcuts I know fall out, and even with long use I can't really get used to it. And a lack of proper arrow keys is annoying for some gaming. It's weird, but it's those little things that count.
I'm glad other vendors are getting better with build quality, so there is more options available for people with my preferences.
- rogerbinns 12y agoLenovo laptops have had a bios setting since 2010 that lets you swap the fn & ctrl keys. That doesn't swap the keycaps though. Some history of the placement and many comments http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/fn-versus-ctrl-let-the-games-begin http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/fn-versus-ctrl-let-the-games-... A series of posts where they asked for feedback, then acted on it. Thinking about changing the key configuration http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/switch-mode-for-fn-ctrl-keys http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/switch-mode-for-fn-ctrl-keys They decided to make it bios switchable showing screenshot http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/switch-mode-for-fn-ctrl-keys-follow-up http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/switch-mode-for-fn-ctrl-keys-...
