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.
Well, I replaced by HP Core I7 laptop with an HP Core Ultra 7 this past month. One of things I needed was triple external monitor support (via USB-C) which the I7 did not have.
Now the Ultra 7 has twice the RAM, so it's faster. However, I thought I specified I wanted ETHERNET, but I don't have an ethernet jack on this laptop. But, the WiFi is still fast enough for my needs.
The HP OmniBook 7 is a wonderful laptop. I have owned several Dells, an Acer, and an LG and this is far superior to all the others. Setup was outstanding—no glitches like with other laptops and everything went smoothly. In use, it is fast and again, no glitches like with Dell models. Storage is great, display is excellent. It is a pleasure to use.
