better camera
HDMI port
NO Thunderbolt 4 ports
15% lighter laptop

I would be patient and wait for black friday. retailers are going to be dumping this year I think. amazon had to run a second massive prime day due to overstock. retailers already offering "black friday" deals before halloween.
I know you want touchscreen, but here's another example of a good cheap laptop:

This seems like a pretty good deal. Are there currently any better price/performance ratio options?!

With non-flip design wouldn't worry much about touchscreen, but it is NOT touchscreen. Battery performance is what could be deal breaker? Any ideas?

most likely - otherwise it would be advertised if it were any type of metal...
nothing wrong with plastic though as long as it is build properly...


edit:
although last years MSI Prestige 14 Evo was an aluminum build according to mobiletechreview [youtube.com] ?!

I am unable to find any info from MSI to confirm that claim for this unit..

wow, retailers are desperate this year. already seeing "black friday" deals advertised in lots of places and we aren't even to halloween yet. anyway, here's a "black friday" deal at best buy similar, only 8gb ram, but geforce gtx 1650 instead and $70 cheaper you might be able to put towards ram upgrade?

my personal opinion is that touchscreen on windows/chromebook is useless on anything above a tablet size
and 13.3 is a bit too big to be used as a tochscreen device, but as long as you are happy that is all that matters

imo this is too big/heavy (5.06lbs) even for a 15.6" (also too big for portability in my opinion) but great if you need the numpad and are using it as a stationary device...
