Initial impression -- for an i3 CPU, it's pretty decent! 4 Core / 8 thread. 3.7Ghz Turbo.
The SSD is an NVMe Samsung according to device manager.
The WIFI card is an Intel AX201 Wifi6 adapter.
The screen is fine. I've seen worse and I've seen better, but for a $450 laptop, it's a decent screen. Colors and brightness are acceptable.
The keyboard is confirmed NOT backlit. As a matter of fact, the picture on Staples.com of this unit shows the F4 key with a symbol on it of a lit keycap. The actual laptop has the F4 key blank. So there must be a model with a backlit KB, but this one is not it.
If you have questions, let me know. I've got a spare 8GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM I want to stick it in so I'll be opening it up.
edit: I forgot, it comes with McAfee, Wild Tangent Games and Express VPN bloatware. Easily uninstalled. Other than that, pretty lean.
edit 2: Here are pics of the inside. 2.5" SATA missing cable, etc.

So yeah, this holiday season is going to be crazy for PC's/PC components/consoles, far worse than last year.

Here is a great 17er for under a G. Open-box better still.

See p 37 and 39 for illustration of where the SSD and hard drive are installed. I haven't really read through it - but the issue in the past with another recent HP computer was that the mounting bracket for a second SATA drive was expensive/hard to obtain. Though if the connector is there it shouldn't be hard to hack something to hold it in place.

Speaking of "outdated design" 1600x900 displays are so last decade.

good price for this cpu, backlit keyboard is a must for me though
Staples has an HP 17.3" laptop on sale for 25% off this Labor Day if anyone is looking for a cheap one. I like the large screen because my eyes aren't getting any sharper, and my lap isn't getting any smaller
It specs out well for the money. I am not big on HP laptops but I picked up one of these for my wife who just surfs and isn't very hard on them like I am. It is only an i3 but it is the newest series so is a bit faster than the old i5-1035G1 IIRC.
