    I don’t need a 7 row keyboard, 6 is enough

    I don’t care about the number of rows, specifically, it’s the particular layout that 7-row keyboards have. The point of a 7-row keyboard is having the text nav keys arranged the same as a desktop keyboard, like so:

    Versus this clusterfuck:

    I use those nav keys constantly and completely by feel. The very specific placement they have on a 7-row is critical to productivity without having to constantly fuck around with the mouse/trackpoint/trackpad. 6-row keyboards are dogshit.

      I am aware what a 7 row keyboard is. My point is the vast majority of consumers don’t use or care for such a feature, especially if it means they get a slighter thinner, lighter, sleeker laptop.

          In your opinion. Secondly if the vast majority of consumers were chimps, then we would market what appeals to chimps. I don’t see how pointing out that the vast majority of consumers are dipshits changes anything. Companies will still market to the people who buy their products. Not super niche use cases.
