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.

You can ask them to switch account back to General Store and they're fine giving you $25 off, but total price after discount would be $3 more than EDU/EPP.
I'd say just buy and later call to see if you can get protection plans or similar for free.

However, you can create a new account for General Store or ask rep to remove existing account special store association.
Someone mentioned CCHOLIDAY25 for $25 off, which I tried to ask rep to apply for me and they had no problem. As long as my account is under General Store.
My configuration is: silver, Full HD screen, 256 gb storage and I'm at $369. Looks like Im missing a $18 discount off the base price for some reason.
$339.99, plus $10 full HD +$20 for 256 gb= $369.99
Jid87 placed an order for the same Customization as I have above: Full HD screen and 256 gb storage.His EPP price was 321.99+ 10 for full hd+ 20 for 256gb =351.99 total before applying 25$ discount
What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Gone
Do I need to put in a special code to get the EPP/student account? The account shows it's an EPP one.
Why would the discount not work?
However, if you are handy, you can do the upgrade yourself and by a similar Intel one for as little as $19 based on a recent Amazon search. Intel NICs tend to perform much better than Real-Tek.
And if upgrading your own NIC, you could spend a little more and go WIFI 6 vs the two WIFI 5 options here.
So if I was not the type who was willing to open up the laptop to upgrade WIFI, then yes I would definitely consider spending the $20.
If I was willing to pop the cover, I would not upgrade on the HP site, but wait and upgrade myself if I decided I was not getting the performance I needed or wanted.
