1) No touch-typing Then a touchscreen may be best, unless his eye-hand coordination is poor. Then you may want to consider good voice recognition, and I haven't played with Windows for years, Apple never, and my SD Pixel 3 XL has amazingly useful voice recognition.
2) He will do a fair bit of surfing in bed - touchscreen may be a really good idea, especially if he isn't writing very much during the day.
3) Hunt and peck - high contrast is usually best, but it depends on which vision cells of your eyes have aged the most. For example I have found in general I can read white text on a black screen best. Take him to a store like Bestbuy, Target, or a Super-Walmart to see what he likes. Remember, though for in bed input at night I recommend a largish touchscreen, on the order of 10" but I have XL hands and I don't have pianist hands.
A bigger problem could be reading the screen in high lighting, and the 400 nits means that this should be a standout for the price range. Also, don't underestimate the lure of games for your dad, if he has more leisure time you might be surprised what he wants to play.

I think if he had a laptop with dark keys and light key markings, as well as a back light behind each key (rather than just around all the keys), that would probably suit him best. I'll keep an eye out for that. Thanks!
1) Is the USB-C port the same as a thunderbolt port? Or does it even matter?
2) Will the laptop charge over USB-C? The port is described as "HP Sleep and Charge" so I assume so. Looking for confirmation. I think I'd mostly use the AC adapter, but it is nice to be able to charge with a generic power delivery adapter.
3) Is there room for a second NVMe SSD? This is pretty much a must-have for me, and I'm struggling to find the spec even listed for most laptops.
4) Are there any known problems running Linux in a dual boot with Windows 10 on this laptop?
