2 sodimm slots for RAM upgradable to 64GB using two 32GB 3200 DDR4 sodimm. See proof of 64GB screenshot below for the HP direct 4700u which use the same chassic and MB as this one
One NVME slot
HDMI 2.0 and Displayport over usb-C for two 4K60hz outputs
This has DisplayPort 1.4 support which can support 4K display at 120 Hz. If a compatible dock is used which can take single DP 1.4 stream and divide it to 2 Display 1.2 port out using MST (Multi-Stream Transport) then you can actually run 2x4K monitor at 60 Hz resolution.
Battery life is so and so due to the weak 41wh battery: 4.5 hr of playing 4K x265 movies with screen at lowest brightness and battery saver mode using mpc-hc going from 100% to 10% battery.
11/14/20 Update:
I picked one up this morning in store at 5am (I was not able to snag one during the online sale). USB C PD 60w charger confirmed working. Though there are apparently some small differences in models as mine does not have back lit keyboard as some in the thread have said. The back lit keyboard is not advertised, so no big deal. Just cross your fingers and hope for one if you have one incoming.
Backlit keyboard appears to be part of certain built date, which would be indicated by the 0XX number in the middle of the serial number, 0 is 2020... XX is XXth week of the year.. If your serial number has 035 or lower then it has backlit,, 037 or higher has no backlit. We are still missing the status for the 036 ones. . Please post in the thread your built date and if you have backlit or not.
Someone mentioned that there is a connector inside for a backlight keyboard. What type of connector, or if it can be purchsed, soldered, or found something that will fit without voiding the warranty, I do not know.
Also the keyboard is apparently transparent. So if you know how to wire up some leds under your keyboard, or light up the vents, use your imagination. But make sure that it's not permanent, for warrantys sake.
So does that mean that if there's a plug for the keyboard, that the F11 key should work? - I'll have to get back to you.
Anyone who bought this HP laptop please please please can you'll help me ??? I too bought this laptop from Walmart on Black Friday.
I accidentally deleted the "Ethernet driver/adapter" that came installed with the laptop. Can anyone please send me a screenshot of the following ?
Control Panel------Network and Internet------Network Connections (there will probably be 2 listed)---- Intel (R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz and the other ??? I need a screenshot of this OR
Device Manager ------ Network Adapters and when you click on Network adapters it will pull down all the adapters. Can you send a screenshot of all the listed Network Adapters?
I am hoping I will be able to download the deleted adapter that came with the HP laptop.
AMAZING LAPTOP! I do pet sitting and was at a clients home last week. I had this laptop on their dining table and I was in the kitchen making dinner for myself. Their floors are TILE. I heard something crash on the floor in the dining room.
It was my beloved Horizon Blue laptop! "Stella" (their Pointer) had apparently walked where I had this plugged in charging, and pulled this right off the dining table onto the TILE floor!
I went running in and found this face down on the floor. I was heart broken! But, the good news?
Not a SCRATCH on it! How can that be I'm thinking? I went over it with a "fine tooth comb" and I can't even find as much as a scratch! Needless to say it works fine (using it now).
How about that folks? These laptops are not only cool looking but SOLID!
Sounds like you just got lucky! I wouldn't count on that happening again.
Who else still rocking this? lol.... I do a lot of traveling for work. I pack two laptops with me. One is the WM motile M142. The other one is this laptop
One time at the airport someone bumped into my laptop hard which was sitting on the floor and almost ran over it with their rolling baggage. I was expecting at least a few scratch or bump in the case. Nada.. it still looks new...lol.. This laptop is definitely one of the lightest 15in you can get for the price and features.
The ryzen 5 4500u is plenty good for regular productivity work. I even run starcraft 2 on it output to external 4K monitor on medium setting and it runs pretty well.

Has your experience or opinion on this laptop changed?
I am still convinced that this was and still the deal of the century.

Did you read my post Wildpig? Mine got knocked off a dining table on to a hard concrete floor and not a scratch!

I've had mine a year and it is a fantastic computer and for the money, untouchable... For ONCE, I was in the right place at the right time with the money...

I just love this Horizon Blue, very classy looking machine SpaceMan! Still very happy with it... The lighted keyboard is extra sweet icing on the cake!
We CANT beat the deal we got on this beautiful HP Horizon Blue!
What about the recent BF deal at Best Buy or Walmart? It shows lots of 👍🏼 on front
Page. There were laptops in the similar specs for similar price point, no?

Oh ok. Thank you. Mine had 2 listed. I too was wondering the same as to why there is an Ethernet adapter listed when it does not hv an ethernet port.
Was not sure if it was Ethernet adapter or something else, hence asked for a screenshot.

I'm still convinced that last year deal is better than now, most notably the 512GB of storage
