The person who designed the keyboards of the current DELL notebooks should be kicked in the nuts. Hard. Thrice over.

The old Latitude 6000 series had a keyboard that was similar (and exactly the same to some) Thinkpad notebooks. They had dedicated HOME/END, PGUP/PGDOWN, INS/DEL buttons on the top right.

The current keyboards have HOME/END as part of te arrow keys, used together with FN, and PGUP/PGDOWN are relocated left and right beside the top arrow key. Also, all of these buttons are now half-height.

It's a pity that this DELL is the only laptop on offer at the moment that has everything (else) I want, because this keyboard just s***s b@llz big time. It will take me a year just to retrain my muscle memory, as I use HOME/END a lot, especially in combination with CTRL.

I wonder why companies are always jackassing with keyboard layouts.
