Awful keyboard layout on newest models

I just got done looking at images for the Area-51 18, and even though I've been buying Alienwares for going on 20 years now, this is the first time I won't be buying one to replace my aging laptop. 

I can't believe right control was replaced with a copilot key. What's worse, is that they also added, what is, imo, an equally useless right windows key. AND they moved the arrow keys up. All of this results in keys like right shift and numpad zero getting squished, and even page up and down getting removed entirely and becoming function keys. I am so blown away that they would make this horrible change to the amazing layout I've enjoyed for so long.

PLEASE fix this for the next generation!
