Asking which laptops have a particular keyboard design: on or off-topic?

Question

The keyboard layout of the Lenovo S210 is easy and intuitive for me to use. The laptop is just a little underpowered for me. I asked Lenovo support if any of their other models have a similar keyboard layout, and they couldn't find one. So I want to ask the community if anyone knows of laptops, by any manufacturer, that have a keyboard similar to the S210 in the following ways

1. the Ctrl key is the lower-leftmost key, and
2. Home, End, Page Up, Page Down commands can be executed with a combination of Fn and the arrow keys.

Before asking this on the main site, I wanted to check that this question wouldn't be considered "asking for a product, service or learning material recommendation". Would this question be on- of off-topic?

Answer 1

Its a hardware recommendation - Its clearly, and explicitly off topic.

Questions seeking for hardware shopping recommendations are off-topic because they are often relevant only to the question author at the time the question was asked and tend to become obsolete quickly. Instead of asking what to buy, try asking how to find out what suits your needs.

Answer 2

In my opinion it would be off-topic for exactly the reason you stated. This is basically a request for links to models of other laptops with the same keyboard. That's not knowledge. That's shopping.
