AMD 8000 series is basically identical to 7000 series mobile save the for AI NPU. The most important number in a AMD mobile CPU is the third digit. 7X40 and 8X40 are the only ones worth buying if you are paying more than $300-400. As the 4 indicates Zen 4 architecture.
For the 7000 and 8000 generation, all the Ryzen 7 come with 780m iGPU which is theoretically 50% faster than 760m iGPU on the Ryzen 5. Note that some Ryzen 5 starting wtih 754X and 854X come with 740m which is only 1/3 as powerul as the 780m.

So many of these 2 in 1 seem 2 have similar hinge problems regardless of make. I had Lenovo Yoga with cracked screen due 2 hinge attachment design. Several class action lawsuits vs. several companies.

Two potential gotchas with this model. If you are a shorts wearer you will find that this hinge design leads to two rather sharp content points on your bare skin. I mostly solve this by lining the sharp points with electrical tape. Looks ugly works okay; kind of stupid HP makes you do that though. Second issue is this model and the model year before it seems to have a somewhat weak keyboard that is prone to partial failure. The key still work but they become non-tactile. I've seen this happen to the backspace key on my keyboard and the space key on a prior year model that I bought used. Meanwhile I've never had any hinge issues with this model or the models prior to this ( I have at 5 HP touch screen laptops ranging an age from 6 months to 6 years).
And yes the screen is definitely under saturated. But hey guys it's really easy you just go into the control panel and boost the saturation. The colors won't be completely perfect doing this but it will completely escape the problem that everything looks flat, at the cost of slight color accuracy that you will be unable to pick out unless you have a 100% ntsc high quality screen sitting next to it to compare to.
