Terrible design choices on this one.

These look like Gateway computers.

If anything, these screams ODM from far away. And seeing that they are meant for Walmart, I would stay away from them.

Yay, great to see mouse buttons. I prefer buttons so pointer never moves a pixel when clicking to position graphics, and so click isn't misrecognized as a drag.

Keyboard:

Great to see full size arrow keys.  I frequently reposition cursor when editing text, programs, and spreadsheets.
And page-up/page-down are not too close.   In contrast, on some keyboards, when trying to adjust position by arrow keys, I accidentally hit page-up or page-down, and scroll by page far away.

Great to see dedicated home/end keys.   I frequently use home/end to move to beginning/end of line of text or row of spreadsheet, or to quickly select that region with one-handed shift-home/shift-end.

(I'm surprised there is no num-lock.  On rare occasions I use it type an alt-NNNN key for a symbol.)

This is the laptop I would really like to buy. There is no other laptop currently available with full size arrow keys and dedicated pg/pd, home/end, ins/del properly located. The keyboard and the track pad is properly aligned with the center of the unit.
