This is my last HP laptop purchase. Each laptop I buy has a different keyboard layout, and each removes keys that I use frequently. The current keyboard removed the right side ctl-/alt- keys, and the page-up/page-down keys plus other various changes. My HP_Omen_17t has similar deficient changes.
To give an example of the impact consider, ctl-{a, c, x, v, d, z} all have a meaning and are convenient when the right-side ctl- key is present. When absent it forces a user two press two keys on the left side at the same time which is much slower, requires some dexterity or the use of two hands, one to press the ctl- and the to press the command completion.
Or take the page-up/page-down etc. The HP-Omni and HP-Omen are different, and laughably, the HP-Omni brings up a calculator when one of the 'keys' is used.
