Do these cheap Ubuntu laptops have a Windows key on the keyboard?



Yes, they do. These laptops are not different from their Windows counter-parts. They were manufactured/assembled with Windows as the target OS, but in a country like India, where financial feasibility is a major factor, providing options with free OS (thus reducing the Windows tax) helps. It was Free DOS for several years, now it's Ubuntu. I think this is one such example, where GNU/Linux being 'free as in free beer', really matters.
