The i3 has a decent single threaded benchmark score, and most UI code is single threaded, so unless you're doing a lot of things at once it should be just fine. And low power usage means it's hard to get the CPU to overheat, so it can make good use of the turbo speed.

I felt the difference. It was likely from the RAM difference but I was surprised that Edge was running smoothly when compared to Chrome on the 713. I returned the 713. The build quality and screen were just amazing. The HP screen is not too terrible.
I jumped on the same deal, but it's sitting in the box as I consider returning it. I dragged my heals on the Spin 713 (i5 - 8GB - 128GB ssd) re-certified for $369 just after and now I'm kicking myself for it.

How is the build quality of that HP (target deal)? I thought the 14" for $270 was more attractive as I dislike num pads on laptops and off-center track pads, while being upgradable all over the place. I didn't get it however as I was already dragging my feet on the re-certified Spin 713 i5/8GB/128GB ssd model since it wouldn't be easily return no-questions.

I also dislike the off-center trackpad (because of the numpad). I wish they had done away with it. Like 90% of the people I observe never use it. I mistype quite a bit because of this. But it's not like total hate for it. The travel is much better than some of the other keyboards I see out there.
What I don't like the most is that WiFi takes like 3 mins after everything loads up to connect. I did remove all the HP crap. So, not sure if it's because of that. The drivers are upto date too. If anyone has a solution, please let me know.
Overall, I know I am losing out on a better screen, keyboard, and probably battery life too. Chrome doesn't seem to be as good with so little RAM. So, that doesn't cut it. Now, I have an insane amount of RAM (32).
I only got a new PC because my surface pro's screen started acting up. I got a pleasant surprise. My Office 2019 gray market license transferred during the initial setup.
I may have liked your configuration better but I also got a good deal with Target PM. I also don't think Win 11 is as bad as people make it out to be. So, I guess I am biased for other reasons. I don't mean to travel with this laptop. I would definitely keep the HP if I was planning to move it around a lot.
