    What country did you purchase the computer from/in? It could be a non-US keyboard with different keys. I'm not sure how much it costs, or if you can get a replacement from HP for free, but laptop keyboards are very easy to replace.

    Seems like it's a simple defect that escaped QC. HP will replace this for free.

    the strange part is that even though he has a non US keyboard, it still types like a US keyboard. I guess thats something that could easily be customized though.
