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.

Looks like, as you would expect, modest improvement in individual core performance (sub 10%), but ryzen 7 results in overall 25%ish increase multi core performance (two more cores, after all).
What I don't know is, how much is this likely to impact your day-to-day? light gaming, browsing, x265 playback, 4K video etc. I don't think it's going to have a huge impact except on maybe processor-heavy loads, but that varies from application to application, right? For example, Civiliation, as I understand it, is processor heavy so that could benefit but other games might not? How is video playback impacted?
***Order, wait a few hours and then call to cancel. You MUST call and wait a few hours. They will add a "recovery specialist" to the call who will offer you either free 2-year warranty or an extra $30 off.

I'm seeing $349.99. Unfortunately when I ordered it was $354.99.
Don't know if they'll adjust the price if I call them now
