That being said, most new computers come with a 30 day trial of Office 365, which includes Word, Excel etc. It's a subscription though and you will be paying an annual fee for it. I would recommend buying a stand-alone copy of Office 2019. It's $149 direct from Microsoft and can be had for less than half that from Amazon and other vendors. Some Universities offer a copy for free as long as you're a student. Hope that helps.
Summary from that video:
He didn't like the screen and the keyboard at all
Other than that, it was generally very positive, including excellent CPU performance for a laptop of this price range (even though it's Zen 2 vs Zen 3 -- see starting at the 8:00 min mark for more info)

1. Yes, the title should be changed.
2. Why is any more than 128GB necessary? I have no need. Everything I save or use is cloud based.
3. I don't use or have any need for Wi-Fi 6.
What I'm trying to express here is that you have certain criteria that are specific to you and you shouldn't judge a deal based on that. This is a good deal based on what you get for the price. HP is not for me, however, as I have only had poor experiences with their build quality.

- The price in the title is wrong: It's non-touch for $449.99. Touch is $479.99.
- The storage drive is a gimmicky 128GB. If you are already paying $450 or more, this begs to be upgraded to 256GB. That's another $30, which is reasonable. But then we are at $480 to $510 here.
- The wireless card is only 1x1 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.2. You could spend another $20 to upgrade it, but you won't. Because it still doesn't get you Wi-Fi 6.
At this point, it's just a meh deal. But "Ryzen". So go ahead and vote it up.EDIT: And someone pointed out to me in another thread that a backlit keyboard will set you back another $30. That's just adding an insult to an injury.

Once you upgrade to Windows 11 within the new year, you'll wish you had more storage. The new Windows 11's minimum storage requirement is an additional 44GB over Windows 10.
