"Developer" ultrabook but still with an uncomfortable left slanted keyboard layout. When will we see a programmer friendly laptop with a symmetric keyboard layout like the TypeMatrix or TECK?
There is no redeeming quality to the left slanted keyboard layout unless you are making typewriters in the 19th century: http://loup-vaillant.fr/articles/better-keyboards http://loup-vaillant.fr/articles/better-keyboards

- acabal 13y agoI've mentioned this in other threads but my gripe is that they got rid of the pgup/pgdown/home/end/etc. column. I have no idea why, and it even looks like there's plenty of space on the laptop for it. I use those keys all day, every day, and the sad trend of laptops aping Apple's keyboard layout saddens me greatly.
