When I expand the details it says Touch screen NO. Can you please verify it is a touch screen?
I bought one a week ago. Yes, it has a touch screen and USB-C charging (you must buy a USB-C charger powerful enough to charge a laptop). It does come with an old-school charger, and as a bonus, I was surprised it came with a nice little Acer branded case to carry it in.

Microcenter $300 HP Elitebook G8 was a better deal last week, with 3 year warranty, brand new sealed box, metal body , backlit keyboard, wifi 6E upgradable RAM slots upto 64gb , Cpu passmark was 15,000 vs this one is under 10,000

It all just depends on your use case. I looked at and liked the specs of the G8, but it did not have a touchscreen, which was a deal blower for me.
This one has no backlit keyboard, but I have the keyboard memorized like it's the back of my hand, so no backlight required.

The EliteBook 845 G8 definitely has USB-C charging. It comes with a barrel-style power adapter but supports PD and DisplayPort over USB-C. I'm certain because I owned one; it was an excellent laptop.

Thanks for that. My original response has been edited, so there isn't misinformation! Yeah, if it had the touchscreen, I would have gone with the G8.

Just be aware that the Ryzen 5 7520U is very efficient but not super powerful.
It is significantly slower than the Ryzen 5 5500u in both CPU and GPU related tasks.

Really feels like more of a Ryzen 3 chip.
