Coupon SMBHOL10 works for $599 or more.
Paypal Chase offer gives 5% cashback too !!
A pretty futureproof buy, and I think the RAM and SSD are replaceable so if you need to do it now, or in the future, it's a perfect base to start with.

If it's truly dark, and the display is brighter than about 40%, the light from the display reflecting off the keys obliterates the backlit letters on the keys. The good news is, if it's that dark you can dim the display until you can see the keys, but I wish I'd bought Fog Blue.
Silver keyboard feel cheap and doesn't go well with white exterior.
Wish I got blue too.
Is it true your Ceramic white also has silver keyboard? At least the backlight works (During checkout, you had to select the Backlight for 0.00, it's not default)

Also I know one person was able to put 32 gb of DRAM in the machine, while Crucial site says only 16 gb is allowed. Any chance 64 could go?

64GB (two 32GB 3200 sodimm) will work just fine. But unless you are working with large dataset, it's overkill for most people.
About the USB-C charge port on the left, I saw from the manual that it can be used to charge cellphones(that is, use the power of the laptop's battery), did you mean the charging is bi-directional? Just want to make sure I won't burn the laptop. Thanks again.

2. Thanks, I came here to ask where the screws were, and if they were under both strips.
Don't understand why there would be screws at the ends of the front strip though, considering that must be quite close to the exposed screws.
Who knows.... They probably want to trick people thinking that just removing those two and you are ready to open only to find out it's as tightly shut as ever....lol

So it was the same situation here a few weeks ago...The blue was sold out and unavailable again til recently.
This blue color is identical to the walmart horizon blue
I got the touchscreen and the laptop is identical in thickness and weight to the walmart one. So there is no penalty of weight or thickness over the non-touch. I wonder if there is any battery life penalty. Probably not? As such, I am thinking about just keeping this now. instead of looking around and trade with someone who has a non-touch screen
Again the stock photo showing difference is terrible. I would picked up a fog blue in a heart beat if knowing white uses a silver keyboard.
Worst $10 saved.

You can play with it all you want and new parts will have zero impact on what you have done with it, Unless you spent 10 hour setup and want to clone your drive.
Just remember disconnect the battery when you install new parts.
Yes either direction
1. if you don't have the 45W charger, it might drop down to using battery when there is higher demand by the computer. You might only be able to charge when the computer is off.
Thanks for the comment in detail.
When I checked the manual, I found this for the USB-C port:
================
USB Type-C®
SuperSpeed port with HP Sleep and Charge
Connects a USB device, provides high-speed data transfer, and
charges small devices, even when the computer is oƫ.
– and –
Connects a display device that has a USB Type-C connector,
providing DisplayPort™ output.
NOTE: Cables, adapters, or both (purchased separately) might
be required.
================
So it doesn't say the port can be used to charge the laptop.
Also, when you said 45W, where did you get this number? I have 65W USB-C charger, will it overkill and damage the laptop?
Thanks again!
Merry Christmas to y'all.
Bottom half of white is the same thing, but non-black part of lid is white.
It's growing on me, and now silver seems either businesslike or boring depending on my mood.
Has anybody actually plugged a USB-C charger into this particular computer and verified that it works?

The 45W is the rating of the default power adaptor that comes with the laptop. Having 65W is even better even if the laptop might not pull 65W. You definitely don't want lower than 45W because there is a chance that it might not supply enough power when it's in high cpu usage and start reverting back to using battery because not enough watt.
A lot of laptops don't even bother to try to use the lower wattage power adaptor even when idling even if when idling the power usage is less than that of the lower wattage adaptor. I have an HP omen that comes with a 200W brick. But if you connect a 100W brick it will just refuse to draw any power from the brick and change to battery mode even when you not even touching it.
The take home msg is always better to have a higher power rating adaptor than a lower rating one. The power rating is just the max the adaptor can give, not what it is "forcing through a connected device". Your device will draw whatever max power it is capable of drawing. So you can use a 100W usb-c charger to power and charge this laptop or a regular cellphone without any problem.
I also have another laptop that has usb-c with displayport function but without the PD (power delivery function). when you connect a usb-c charger to that laptop, nothing bad happened. The laptop just act like it's using battery even when that charger is connected. It's a gaming laptop so even a 100W (i think that is the max rating available for a usb-c DP spec) wouldn't be enough. It comes with a regular barrel 150W adaptor. so that is why the manufaturer didn't bother to include the PD function with that usb-c port and only include the DP function.
However, some gaming laptops will let you run in low power mode with the usb-c charger with the iGPU being use instead of the discrete GPU. One good example is the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14. I test drove one for about 2 weeks before returning it. it only have one sodimm slot with the other ram channel soldiered sadly. But it's one of the few gaming laptop that you can take on a transoceanic flight because it allows you to run in low power mode from a less than 100W adaptor. airplane sockets will auto disable itself whenever you connect anything more than 100W
