The 16:9 screen is an immediate turn off for me. on a machine of this size that extra screen real estate you get with 16:10 or even 3:2 is important to me. Shame too, because this could be the perfect machine for me.

I'm pretty sure it's decently common; Red Hat certainly does it, Ubuntu is nice and keeps a wiki page of what derivatives need to change and when ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DerivativeDistroHowto#Trademarks ), opensuse has https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Trademark_guidelines#Distri... to discuss how much you can use their trademarks, and even Debian has a trademark policy - https://www.debian.org/trademark - although…
I guess you would have to trademark your logo to stop people from slapping it on things that don't even use the product. It's nice to explicitly spell out that you won't actually go after people who aren't doing anything silly.

Inverted-T is a good layout for the most part, but I think IBM/Lenovo have suckered me into their 3x2 arrow cluster. Having pgup and pgdown so close to a single hand really helps me fly through docs and PDFs.
What is the IBM/Lenovo layout for their arrow keys?
> a tuned Linux keyboard with a Super key
What is with those arrow keys? Who wants double wide half height up and down keys? 2 x 0.5 does not equal one full sized key. Am I really to believe that relabeling the win key to super is some sort of engineering feat?

I use the right shift key to type capital letters on the left side of the keyboard since I type with ten fingers. I suspect most people do that?
I often type them on the left side with one hand holding the shift and typing. It's not as hard as it sounds.
This will likely be a small volume product and it is almost certainly based on something else in the HP portfolio (advantage of being such a huge OEM), but it’s nice to see a developer marketed laptop in this way. And running a distro other than straight Ubuntu or Red Hat, even.
To me, this indicates that the market research teams at HP have seen the success of Framework and the various Clevo/Sager/Tongfang machines from Tuxedo, System76, XMG, etc. to see this as a viable market worth testing. Obviously, Dell has been doing this for years with the XPS Developer Edition or whatever they call it now, but it is nice to see a product from one of the other big laptop makers.

And the power button sitting just above backspace. Point me to a dev who doesn't use backspace about as much as they do the return key ;-)
