I was just looking for web sites posting comments about notebooks to write a comment about the G9's power button location, and lo and behold, another user already wrote about this a couple of months ago.  I was truly flabbergasted about how someonemin marketing or R&D or whoever makes these decisions was able to convince the entire responsible HP team to locate a power button next to a Delete key and Backspace key.  I guess all 3 actions undo something - letters, words, sentences, or power to the CPU, but the person that decided this should really be fired.  Like, noone ever clicks a wrong button?  Well here, you end up putting the box to sleep or worse, shutdown depending how the power button is configured. So instead of deleting a file, you delete all open work!!!

Quote And yes, the author, you already decide which screen you tested - matte or glossy (as in the description at the beginning). Because it's still glossy, even for it 2800:1 is an incredible figure - even the best "IPS Black" panel from LG today does not produce more than 2000:1 with a normal calibration. Is there an IPS Black panel installed here? Without any cheats with gamma curve and visibility of dark shades

It would be a good laptop, with a normal keyboard without a stupid power button next to the backspace. HP's marketers and miners have completely gone to the roof, saving on matches. The separate power button was spared. Shame at this price... Well, the cooling is too noisy with such a limitation on the speed of the processor. The screen there should be (simply obliged) 4k@120Hz. As well as the presence of an RGB keyboard with controls on each button. For such a price! And I don't believe in a contrast higher than 1500:1 on a semi-matte screen, unless there is a panel from Lg "IPS Black". This is physically impossible, without damaging the gamma curve from the factory and making it impossible to see dark shades. And in the reviews on NB, the gamma curve is not shown. And it is also very bad that the contrast is not measured by 15% -25% -50% -75% -100%, as other reviewers do - this is where extremely unpleasant details of the specific implementation of laptop and monitor screens become clear ... In general, HP is going down in all directions. They don't understand what people really need.
