I bought this on Black Friday and it's been a great laptop. Exceedingly fast and plenty of ports. The optane memory serves as a cache between SSD and memory. Opening office apps like Word takes ~1sec. HP sells a pen if you do handwritten notes or drawing.
This is $200 off regular and just $50 more than BF. Perfect graduation gift for the techy grad. Comparable Surface Pro Laptop or Mac would cost a lot more. The only thing I'm disappointed with is the fingerprint reader which isn't at all reliable.

2 tabs of Google Chrome, duh
Fan is totally silent for me. Doesn't bother me at all but can run a little warm. Not a huge deal
My only critique is the build quality. If you choose this - which I'm fine with my choice in it - invest in a good case

My only critique is the build quality. I feel nervous bringing this in my backpack and worry the screen (being touch) will start to fade as I have noticed is has a bit. If you choose this - which I'm fine with my choice in it - invest in a good case
Thanks!

That's done with the graphics card's RAM and the GPU these days. It's been several years since bus RAM was used for that.

Why would the screen fade because it's a touch screen? The touch functionality is provided by a digitizer layer that is in front of the actual screen, a completely separate component.
Ram is not soldered on these 15" envys
