Have been eyeing on a HP laptop with a decent CPU and a nice 100% sRGB screen, USB c video enabled for awhile:

1. go to HP website [hp.com]

2. Choose AMD Ryzen™ 5 5500U (up to 4.0 GHz max boost clock(2i), 8 MB L3 cache, 6 cores, 12 threads) + AMD Radeon™ Graphics [+80]
3. Choose 16 GB DDR4-3200 SDRAM (2 x 8 GB) [+60]
4. Choose 14" diagonal, FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, micro-edge, anti-glare, 400 nits [+30]
5. Add to Cart and a FREE HP 220 Wireless Mouse will be automatically added to cart.
6. Enter Code "HP21BTS5" and final price is $588.99

According to a youtube review, HP Pavilion Laptop 14's 400 nits screen has 100% sRGB. USB c port is: "SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 10Gbps signaling rate (USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge)".

I'm going to say it, because somebody needs to. Those silver-on-silver keyboards are tough to see in general, and impossible to see at night if you're using your laptop on the couch or in bed without much ambient light. Backlighting can only help so much. Like how 250-nit screens are a deal-breaker for many, these silver keyboards should be too. You'll see it commonly noted by reviewers on many sites (Amazon, BestBuy, etc.) as to something they hate or the reason they returned it.
Ships 9/01/2021, just a heads up
Largest contrast is best (typical dark grey and near-white markings...green on black is pretty good too on my son's HP gaming laptop). Some backlit keyboards have illumination through the letter markings themselves, while others just have lighting around the keys. The former would be best, but can't say which of all laptops have it. An older Dell 2-in-1 I have only has it around the keys, my daughters new Lenovo from the other recent Costco 15.6" deal has dark grey/white keys with illumination through them, and the latest 5700u iteration of that would too (only 300 nit matte touch-screen display though, vs. this one with 400 nits and 16gb ram which are both pretty nice for the price).

Quote from jkd159 :
This seems like a really good deal, though upgrading the size of the SSD is very pricey. A few questions if anyone can help...

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?

My first time laptop shopping in 8 years Smilie Thanks for all the help!
USB-C and Thunderbolt are not the same. USB-C is a port used by both USB and Thunderbolt 3/4 protocol/interfaces. Where this matters is that the majority of laptops implement USB 3.2 gen1/2 on its USB-C port which provides 5Gbps/10Gbps bandwdith. TB3 provides up to 40Gbps. This becomes valuable to content creators who utilize the higher speed for TB3 compatible storage devices to transfer large content. TB3 can also leverage external GPU enclosures for adding desktop GPUs. Another benefit of TB3 and its higher bandwidth is the ability to use higher feature TB3 docks that can provide multiple ports and support higher display bandwidth for multiple and/or high resolution displays.

Other features many laptop manufactures implement on the USB-C port is USB-C Power Delivery for charging and DisplayPort Alt Mode which allows display output. Docks/Monitors that implement USB-C PD and display allow you to charge and connect peripherals and monitors over 1 single connector which is nice. Laptops with TB3/4 have provide more bandwidth allowing more connectivity options.

All that said this is a pretty good lightweight compact laptop for the price.

The website doesn't even list the ports. Is there a thunderport?!
Thunderbolt 3 and now TB4 are specific to Intel mobile only. Even Apple with the M1 machines can only run with TB3. TB4 is also only available with 11 series processors.

AMD laptops have only USB3. But the HDMI should be 2.0 though.

Yep, it's weird that touchscreen is less, but really it's the same price because if you don't upgrade anything, you won't be able to use the coupon, so it's about 589 with or without the touchscreen.

But, the touchscreen version is only 250 nits!

Should be fine at lower settings. I played starcraft 2 on my ryzen 5 3500u laptop at 4K res with medium settings with mild lag
