Emulation review also by ETA Prime:
https://youtu.be/xbKGl1EqgLg
- The type of ports available on this is just like that of the older 15-cx from 2018, namely three usb-a 3.1, one usb-c with DP, one HDMI 2.0.
- i5-9300H is nearly the same in single and multicore as i5-8300H from the older 2018 model.
- GTX 1650 is an incremental upgrade over the old 1050ti. It's about 20+% faster.
Alternative deal with AMD Ryzen 5 4600H CPU for the same price:

Review of identical hardware (except for display) laptop with DELL branding:

Best Buy (BB) vs Walmart (WM) version comparizon:
- The Walmart version has an IPS screen (TN on BB version) with better viewing angles, and higher 250 nit brightness (220 nit on BB version).
- The Walmart version has a USB 3.1 Gen 2 with Power Delivery (PD) and Display Port (DP) support, which means you can have up to 3 displays (laptop screen + 1 via HDMI +1 via USB-C to HDMI). (BB version can only support 2 displays: laptop screen + 1 via HDMI).
- The Walmart version has a newer housing/exhaust/hinge design, with improved cooling to accommodate the.power consumption of the Intel i5 9300H CPU (2 large exhaust ports on either side of the hinge).
- The Best Buy version has a newer, faster and more power efficient AMD Ryzen 5 4600H CPU, which means longer battery life when unplugged.
- The Best Buy version comes with faster 3200Mhz RAM (WM version has 2666Mhz RAM).
- The Best Buy version has a previous housing/exhaust/hinge design, since the AMD does not require the improved cooling of the newer design (one narrow exhaust port right on the hinge).

I bought it a few days ago, but they haven't shipped yet, so it can be easily cancelled.
Turns out I can save a bit of money and get a larger extended warranty at the same time with the HP...but don't know enough about these sort of things to know which has the superior specs overall. Can someone who knows what they're talking about give me some advice/info in dummy terms?
BB's HP is IMO the better value, but it has known hinge issues. You might also get a few odd looks if you try to use the acid green laptop in any kind of professional setting.
