I miss so much the first generation of the Dell XPS 13 dev edition. I think that we were almost at the top of the curve in term of quality/price. Only a few things could have been fixed (like the webcam at the bottom of the screen) and it would have been perfect.

But, sadly, next generations went deep shit instead.

Nowadays, I have a very hard time selecting a laptop that would fit my needs, even disregarding the price. One of the worst feature in term of offender is the keyboard: Manufacturers are going on with this totally stupid unergonomic trend of having "half size" enter keys, removing page-up/page-down keys, and hiding directional arrows behind over keys needing to use the "FN+other_key" to be able to use the arrow.

Jeez, the keyboards!

OK we probably have different preferences, but I really hate:

1. Arrow keys have different sizes

2. page up/down right up arrow keys (very easy to touch those accidentally)

So far I really love the Macbook Pro layout. I wonder why no one tried to copy it, considering they tried to copy everything else.
