It's a matter of what you prioritize.

The cheap gaming laptops never have 400 nit 100% sRBG screens.

The cheap gaming laptops usually don't have USB-C with power delivery.

Cheap gaming laptops are often louder.

Cheap gaming laptops have lower build quality.

Gaming laptops don't come with Windows Pro.

Gaming laptops in general have worse battery life.

Gaming laptops will weigh 5-6 lbs rather than 3.8.

So if you don't play games, and want something lighter, with longer battery life, more features, and superior screen, then this makes sense.

Otherwise you can give up all of the above in exchange for an RTX 3050.

Not everyone plays games. 🤷🏻

No coupon, I just logged in with my EPP account and the price dropped to $656.30.

Sometimes HP is weird where you have to log out and log in again. It should say something like "Private store exclusive price" next to the price. If it doesn't, you're not seeing the EPP discount.

Nope, mobile series was launched as Ryzen 6000 in January this year.

Here's a question...

You can find login info for various HP EPP programs that places have listed online. Does that work for a random person?

Fantastic deal if you can get it!

This was $690 during CM for a day or two, even better now.

I'm a random person with ID.me account. Was able to register for HP EPP using a gmail account and leaving the company name empty on registration form. Had to sign out and re-signin to see the $656.30 price. I'm not sure if there's an alternate path without ID.me, I didn't look. Good luck!
