Some laptops, particularly certain models from IBM, do not include a Windows key on their keyboards. This absence can lead to confusion when users attempt to access the Start menu, as they may mistakenly press the Ctrl key instead.

The discussion highlights the frustration of adapting to a keyboard layout that omits this key, emphasizing the importance of understanding keyboard configurations for efficient computer use.
