YMMV The coupon code used by the agent was CCHOLIDAY25. Hope its useful to someone. The chat representative didnt give this coupon code to me, but when the payment link was generated by the rep, i saw it on the payment page.
This saves $25. One of our members on this thread has detailed how to get in touch with the hp rep and get this coupon for the purchase.
HP has ran out of the backlit black keyboards! You can now only get the backlit option if you order silver or rose, both with silver keyboard. This is not surprising since white backlit shows up best with black background keys. silver background keyboards don't have as high visibility as black background keys with white backlit.

Great deal tbh, probably the best deal with a 5500U, compared to the other i3/i5 and even i7 deals, 5500U almost always comes out on top.
2 RAM slots, replaceable NVME and WiFi card, FHD IPS screen
only downside is the not so great battery size and probably not so great build quality.
but for sub-400, this is a no-brainer and can handle pretty much anything you can throw at it, especially if you take the 2x8GB 3200 RAM upgrade.
just wish other retails can price match on specific builds.
What's the battery life on this? I can't get a clear answer
I was wondering the same. This guy says 6 hrs off the cuff. Not sure if tested, but that answered my question sufficiently, so thought I'd share. https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3...j8S65HW_AO
Tempted to rebuy 3 laptops from the recent early BF Walmart deal. Not sure how this AMD chip compares to i5-1135G7, but I can basically get same price with an IPS panel. Not thrilled about HP return policy with restocking fees, though slim chance that will be needed.
Don't know much about computers. I have an acer aspire 3 I bought last year. Is this worth upgrading? I'm a college student and will be using the laptop for school purposes. Microsoft Word, excel rgc, youtube, internet browsing.
My current laptop is kinda buggy it won't scroll down smoothly after an or so of using it.

5500U is SOLID. The battery life and performance beats anything Intel has.
I just got this for $407 configured this way: Gold color, 12 gb ram, 256 SSD, and FHD non touch screen. I've been looking for a $400 laptop for my mom for Christmas all week and most have had crappy processors or skimping on RAM or SSD size for $400. This one checks all the boxes and a better processor then I expected. I added it to my car 2 hours ago and just checked out. I guess I got it before the price increase.
I grabbed this, but upgraded basically everything..except I didn't do the touchscreen.
I am definitely questioning my decision to grab the 5700u over the 5500u though.. not sure $90 was worth it.

Last year it took over 2 months for the hp laptops to get to people who bought on black Friday. I hope they actually have these in stock this year and aren't building them in china as they're ordered again. With the supply chain issues this year it could spell disaster.
