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.

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.

Target Deal
1TB NVMe Deal for $80
Total was $375
Modifications I made were
Silver (-10)
Backlit KB (+30)
256gb HD (+20)
IPS 1080P non touchscreen (+10)
Would note I never use touchscreens on laptops so that wasn't a concern for me and regular screen is anti-glare.
Also bought the Target $280 for wife and was going to get the Walmart MSI for myself but they canceled the order (very frustrating). Was thinking about taking ram out from here and installing that and a 1tb nvme in wife laptop (where the slot is open), and installing more ram in this one and keeping the 256. I just wanted the MSI cause of build quality but hopefully this holds up. Deciding how much ram to add to both laptops, definitely a minimum of 16gb to both but debating 32 for this. Thanks for the nvme link above poster!
Does anyone know how ryzen and videocard work with ram? Does more ram help the video card?

Upgraded to touchscreen 1920x1080, 16gb RAM, 256gb SSD for 449$ + taxes. Better than the Walmart HP 499$ laptop which would give me only 8gb RAM, i5 processor,512gb SSD. External memory is cheap so I'm ok with 256gb SSD. But I did want higher RAM and didn't want to spend over 500$. This is almost perfect for my needs and 449$.
FYI, I was told the price could NOT fall below $369. So I got an option upgrade I was considering, then he was able to apply a coupon code to it.

What were the specs you went with? Going to try to replicate. I still have the Target i3 deal unopened, was thinking about grabbing the 4GB Ram stick for $20 from Amazon, but might be better off with this deal.
