this is becoming an insanely good deal. it was a good deal at 399, better at 349. and now 299? it's one of those slickdeals i'm tempted to buy even though i dont need it!
I am sure if you wait even more till 2021 or better 2022 BF, there will be even better electronics. 😛
Review for the laptop [notebookcheck.net]

Seems to be 2 M.2 slots and 1 DDR4.

Good call. Do you have the black one yet? How do you like it?

Uh-oh. I haven't gone that far yet. Did you install Windows 10 Home? It's possible that a BIOS/UEFI update could mess up the Windows activation. The digital license is stored in the ACPI tables, which is managed by the BIOS/UEFI. This issue has been documented elsewhere. [hp.com]

Either use the keyboard or plug in a USB mouse.
The black one pick-up date is 12/23 for me in my area. I won't have it till another week at least... Sucks I know but after having the silver one I think I like the black color more. The poor contrast between the letter on the keyboard and the surrounding coloring is pretty bad especially when the LED is on.

All you folks waiting to upgrade to 16GB RAM should hook up with folks over in the Ryzen 3 Motile thread. We're all cheap enough over in that thread that we'll probably buy your used 8GB sticks when you trade up.

Still wondering if anyone can provide the tuned by thx color profile. It is gone after reinstalling windows and it isn't available in either of the driver packages. The screen is warmer looking than my Costco $280 hp.

You can use the AMD Radeon Software (download it if you dont have it)
There are several video profiles to choose from that will give you various color options.

I am typing this from ubuntu (bootable from usb stick). So far so good. Volume sounds low and fans seems to always running.
I really only used it for an hour or so and concluded it worked. I can see the volume being an issue with what everyone said here

"FIX FOR LOW SOUND OUTPUT FROM SPEAKERS:
Be sure the Sound Blaster Connect application is running.
Select a sound profile (Game/Music/Movie, etc)
and make sure the Pre-Amp is turned on. Makes a night and day difference"

I don't see any settings in the Sound Blaster Connect app that are labeled "Preamp", please help.
By "Pre-Amp" I meant EQ. There is a slider for the EQ under each sound profile.
Make sure the slide is turned on, it defaults to off.

Most linux distros can boost sound over 100%

That's not the same as a color profile tuned for this laptops panel. The difference likely negligible but the ocd me wants to have it.

Could you give a quick comparison/evaluation of the two?

I absolutely hated the HP, but my essential cheapness is making me want to buy the Motive. I"m a noise-hater, and the "silent" feature is really attractive to me. I want a big improvement over the HP. Could this be it, or should I just give up and spend more?

Thank you.
