Price dropped $50 probably cause prices on the competition keep dropping.
Upsides are 2 lb metal chassis and nice 16:10 screen.
Downsides are reportedly wobbly screen when typing, slow refresh poor for gaming and some say loud while gaming or heavy usage.

You are not gonna find much anything else that has all of this:
2lb weight
i5-1135G7
Two sodimm slots (one already occupied by a single 16GB ram, just add another 16GB to get to 32GB or go all the way to 64GB)
one TB4, one usb-c with PD and DP, one HDMI 2.0. (Basically you can connect THREE 4K 60hz monitors to it without needing a dock!)
Two NVME slots (one being gen 4!)
Backlit keys
Seriously, I am not sure why this is not front page! The price is actually very reasonable!

This HP laptop has two sodimm slots and one HDMI 2.0 and one usb-c with DP and PD so you can connect two 4K60hz monitors to it.
the i5 and even the i7 version of this xenia is more than fast enough for everyday use but they are definitely significantly slower than the ryzen 5500 and 5700/5800u cpu. This xenia laptop is for someone who prizes portability as one of the their higher priorities due to its being only 2lb but not having to compromised on expandability due to its sodimm slots and numerous ports.
All these laptops have not very bright screen, all in the 250-350 range. for any serious with photo and video, they need to be connected to an external monitor. i guess you could use the laptop screen but it would be very limited. Even those "creator" laptops that are bigger and heavier built like a gaming laptop is still limited with their screen.
