I'll take a slim laptop over fullsize any day, because I travel a lot and already have a desktop at home.

Battery also not user replaceable...according to reviews.
Unfortunately that's become the norm (thanks Apple)

You're preferences aren't everyone's. There's gonna be some low tech user on here that read your nonsense and believe it, or at least ask why and realize (hopefully) that you've just wasted their time.

Usual forks in the road: Touch screen, do you want a number pad (this pushes normally to 15"+ screen size), backlit keyboard (I am not sure why this is important but seems to be), hard drive size, upgradeable RAM, USB-C ports/charger.
I don't know if this is correct, but I plug the processor into CPU benchmark to see how much relative computing power it has. In my mind this gives a little confidence of "future proofing", but I am sure others on here know better. This processor has a score of 18,266 which is better than almost all laptops in this price range by a wide margin. Most i3,5,7 and ryzen3,5,7 are in the 8000-13000 score range.
Last thing, personal preference, but I stay as far away from HP brand as possible. I've been sucked into the value trap in the past and have had two different machines not make it past 2 years.
I don't closely follow laptop deals, but this is a great value at $419.
