no USB-C charging
no backlit keyboard
portability (pesonally prefer 14")
But at this price, these are what the best you could get for a brand new.
Also availble for same price at Best Buy via eBay

Both would be just fine for college works (zoom+office+web surfing)
But this should be a better: Brand new + touchscreen + much faster + future proof.
Elitebook is not a bad business laptop. But between these two, I personally would only consider that HP if I need a greater portability (likely lighter (~1.5kg) and smaller/thinner). The Elitebook seems to have a RJ45 LAN port connection if it's important.
Last but not least, a refurb is still a refurb.
Benchmarks comparison FYI, theoretically 60-80% faster than the HP:

Core i3 1215U +61%

Switching out of S mode is one-way. If you make the switch, you won't be able to go back to Windows 10 or Windows 11 in S mode. There's no charge to switch out of S mode.
- To switch out of S mode, open the Microsoft Store to the Switch out of S mode (or similar) page.
- On the Switch out of S mode (or similar) page, select the Get button. After you see a confirmation message on the page, you'll be able to install apps from outside of the Microsoft Store.

I am about to purchase this product and noticed there is 1 Open box available for 240 near me and ordered it.
Thank you.

I'm typing this on a $280 Gen 10 Intel HP laptop from 2020. Even though I baby this thing and never move it anywhere, it's on the 2nd battery, the Bluetooth died, it usually locks up when it goes to sleep, the screen is wobbly, and the power connector is extremely loose.
My wife's Lenovo x1 Carbon from 2015 has been extensively used and abused, run out of battery hundreds of times, transported to classes, libraries, and rotations, and hasn't needed a single thing. Still on the same battery.
I paid $1,100 for my wife to have a reliable laptop while she was in school, and she's still using it nearly a decade later. I paid as little as possible to have recent generation hardware (at the time) with the expectation that I'd need to replace it in about 3 years.
For tech savvy people, fixing problems that arise with consumer grade laptops is easy (I bought a $5 Bluetooth dongle, and a $17 battery), and transferring stuff to a new computer is no big deal. Less tech savvy people just need something that works (Mac might be better).
All that said, size is probably the thing to work out first. I prefer 14" laptops when frequently carrying or traveling (or even a 13.3"). This 15" has number pad on the keyboard though, which is not something you see on smaller laptops. The bigger screen might be appreciated (I dock my work laptop to 3 external screens). I'd figure out the size first, and then decide if durability is more important, or saving money.
