      Does not any developer with self-esteem map esc to caps-lock anyway ? (at least... I do)

        Yet another "developer" laptop with a stamp-sized display.

          It being a case of product being avoided is quite sensationalist at least if you also look at the specific of the laptop.

          What being certified by Ubuntu does mean is that there is a very high chance that Linux "just works on it", would be far better if you just has a certified for Linux along with some major version badge instead though.

              I don't like the look of the keyboard, but the big deal-breaker is the lack of physical function and escape keys.

                I agree. As a software developer who scrolls up and down in source code using keyboard those half height keys are an instant fail for me.
                The 16:10 screen aspect ratio is great to see. More on-screen and less scrolling up and down is never a bad thing.

                  Wow, what looks to be a near unusable keyboard. No Four Essential Keys (at least physically, although I suppose not having them Fn'd onto some other key is a minor improvement...) no Function row, no numeric pad (which I don't expect on a laptop that size, but after having a 15" laptop with a full keyboard+numpad, it really hurts looking at laptops without them) and what looks like a dust and dirt magnet with minimal key travel (please correct me if this laptop has nice key travel, some do but don't look like it...)

                    Remember, when you're using dell, you have to use their charger. When using other, you CPU speed (mainly intel) will be limited to around 800MHz or below.

                    Except, maybe, usb-c charger.

                      Anyone whose biggest concern with this thing is the display rather than the keyboard is very unlikely to be a developer.
