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

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.
