They took a great laptop and ruined it by putting the page up/down buttons next to the arrow keys where we can all accidentally hit them. Sign me up.

A lot of Windows laptops do this, sadly.

The new MBP 2016 annoyed me (until I went back to my 2015 model) by making the left/right arrows the same size as the up/down and the other surrounding keys, which means your fingers can no longer find them by touch alone; I kept hitting shift and option instead.

Why would I buy this over Dell's 2n1 that I have with a Core I7 for $699?

Looks pretty slick. I'm in the market for a laptop I carry to work every day and leave my 5lb MBP at the office more like a mobile desktop.

Pretty intrigued by this vs the expensive X1 Carbon or Yoga. The quickcharge on the X1 sounds amazing though...

I think the Core-Y processor 4.5W TDP would be too slow for many. I've never tried one though.
