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.

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.

my 2c: i had a touchscreen sony laptop 7 years ago. it was fun but only really viable when the laptop was in my lap or whenever i was really staring down on the screen (if that makes sense). i found that touchscreen was only useful or convenient when i was physically reaching down on the screen, unless it's a laptop that can completely fold like a true 2 in 1. otherwise, under normal circumstances like on a desk, you'd be reaching across your body / parallel to the ground. try that -- it's just not comfortable or fast vs. using a mouse.
my two laptops since the touchscreen sony have been non-touch. again, it was fun to try but i personally never used it enough to justify any price on it. even if it were a $10 upgrade, im not sure i would go for it today, unless the screen quality itself were an improvement.

No I'm not sure if I should go to micro center and look or should I wait till Monday to see if there's any Cyber Monday sales or pull the trigger on this. Please everybody help me out. I don't buy these a lot and I'm just going to be using this for like Photoshop and maybe some like audio visual stuff like milk drop. And I will be hooking it up HDMI to my 70-inch 4K TV.

I just bought the $430 Lenovo i5 and also considering this. For $50 difference, I'll probably keep Lenovo for touch, 12gb, wifi 6, finger scanner and better keyboard. However, I agree 5500u is better than i5.
