    minor update:

    the lack of dedicated Page-up/down buttons as well as Home/End is driving me nuts as a programmer. just remapped F9-F12 to these, which helps.

    still probably too early to say, but battery life is feeling like 6 hours (powercfg says 5:27). very disappointing for an FHD screen, was hoping for more like 10. but might be too early to conclude anything.

    Possible the extra RAM is eating some battery...

    I hear you. That's the reason I won't buy any Dell Precisions anymore, at least for myself (ordered one for my daughter, since that's what she picked for herself).

    As for me, I'll wait for the HP ZBook Studio, or the Lenovo P70 if I decide to get a 17" machine again. Dell is dead to me. Taking those keys away was the height of idiocy. It was literally the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Too bad, I've used Dells for my main machines for more than 15 years now, but I guess all things must come to an end...

    You can remap keys using SharpKeys - https://sharpkeys.codeplex.com/
    There is actually a built-in Windows feature to re-map keys using a certain registry entry, and SharpKeys is just a GUI front-end for configuring that.
