The website warns that going to 32gb won't allow you to pick the OLED screen, but it's not in the options anyways…

PS: id.me won't work on the 16gb model. I think there's an amount of money that you have to spend for it to give a discount.

Only slightly worse specs in my opinion, and weighs less than 2.2lbs; gets great reviews. After the mentioned discount, an edu discount, and 20% off through my Capital One credit card (not Capital One Shopping), this comes out to about $430. Without the edu discount, it's still less than $500. And with only the standard HP sale discount, it's $580.
Net is that ThinkBook is Lenovo's SMB design - this HP machine is consumer grade. Caveat emptor. I have a Lenovo machine with a 6000 CPU and it runs great (it's not this ThinkBook) - use it for work. I've found that 13" is a little small at times - so check the keyboard layout to make you don't get compromised key layout.
I agree in terms of your soldered memory comments - it is done for quality reasons (note that Apple has soldered their memory for years, and now solders their HDDs; Dell is soldering both on the XPS13). I worry about HP - they have lost a ton of market share in the last year (check out the IDC and Gartner PC market share numbers - next update in about 2 weeks).

The display is reputed to be significantly brighter on the HP than this Lenovo, and the weight sounds very appealing. Battery life and performance reported to be more than acceptable.
- Intel i7-1260P
- 16GB DDR5 4800MHz (slightly slower)
- 1TB SSD
- Iris Xe integrated graphics
Will be doing mostly office work, stock trading, photo editing, and some very light gaming (only a few older titles).

As for battery degradation, that's pretty universal, but you can mitigate it by not keeping the battery at 100% for extended periods. There's a setting for this in Lenovo Vantage, which stops charging at 60%. Unfortunately, unlike with ThinkPads, you cannot set custom charging thresholds, like 80% which I find a good compromise.
That said, this is very nearly as big as the 14" Acer Swift X that is currently on sale, with the 3050 Ti that is going to be twice as powerful as the 680M. So if you're going to run current AAA games, attach a higher refresh rate monitor or 4K TV, that's going to make a pretty big difference.
If you don't mind a bigger 5lb+ 15" laptop almost any gaming laptop around the same price will be considerably better. Or you could do a super cheap desktop build and come out way ahead.

To me it seems like the Asus setup is better than this one but I dont know a ton about computers.
