…typing on a new laptop.

The keyboard is a little different, but why do they have to move certain keys around?

Just wondering.

why do they move them around anyway?! even among the same brands! my personal Dell laptop has the Delete key in the upper right corner and the page up/down keys in the bottom right, but my work Dell has them in completely different places! there should be a law against it… *grumble grumble*

Not too sure either, but every single company does that. I find it annoying as heck too. Almost as annoying as accidentally hitting the NumLock key on a laptop.

There is no standard in the laptop/compressed keyboard arena, and there should be. 101/104 key keyboards all follow a published standard.

I have hope that new, wide-screen laptops will use a standard 101/104 key layout. But that might be too sensible for the laptop makers.
