It is a flaw that can be overcome by mapping escape to caps, which everyone does anyway, or by using ^[ which is more conveniently placed anyway. That doesn't seem so immense.

I seem to remember, a while ago, when this new model was introduced, that it looked exactly the same.

It's the xps13 plus. A different model with a hidden trackpad and a keyboard very reminiscent of Apple's butterfly keyboard together with touchbar
