Great Machine with a Caveat

This laptop is the first in a new generation of HP laptops and has many nice features that make it a top-tier instrument. But like other newly introduced instruments, it possesses a flaw or two that keeps it from being a five-star choice. I’m a writer and spend much of my time in Word and other pure word processing programs. I often need to go the beginning or end of a document using the traditional Ctrl+Home or Ctrl+End key combinations. For whatever reason HP decided to integrate the Home and End keys into to move one character right/move one character left arrow navigation keys. And consequently, Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End do not work. I’ve attempted different key combinations, and none work (Fn+Home/Fn+End work in web age documents but not in Word). This appears to be key mapping issue and I’m sure HP will eventually find a fix. As a work around, using select all (Ctrl+A) then pressing the Home or End keys works instead. That said, outside of this one issue the OmniBook 5 Flip is an amazing machine and I highly recommend it.

I cancelled this order. I purchased the computer at the end of January and was told it would be delivered a week later. There were no updates made until the day it was supposed to be delivered saying it would be delayed and shipped between that Tuesday and Friday. Friday came and there were still no updates. If I hadn’t called, I wouldn’t have known that this computer had low stock and they were waiting on shipments. I wished that was communicated so that I could either buy another computer or just know what’s happening since I needed the computer for school
