The keys are in the position of F keys but are not at all labeled as F keys. They are all labeled as media keys, basically. I'm not sure what the official definition of F keys are, but I do know that users of this laptop will not expect them to type F keys, but instead control the volume, brightness, etc. You can see them in the attached image above:

For an exampe, the Acer C720 Chromebook has the same row of media keys on the top, and reviews say that everything works with Ubuntu.

I just found out that this laptop was the #1 selling laptop on Amazon in 2013:
