Build Quality: The Laptop you bought is a 2-in-1 version in OmniBook 7 series and they are normally cost higher than the normal Clamshell models with similar build quality and configuration. That model also comes with the HP MPP 2.0 Pen which is a benefit.
Screen Resolution: Your laptop has a higher resolution 2.8K OLED screen (2880x1800 vs 2048x1280) which will make the media consumption looks better, texts a bit sharper and in a 16" screen, that is clearly noticeable.
CPU Performance: Although both laptops are having Core Ultra Series 2 series Processors, there is a notable Difference. The model you have is having Core Ultra 7 258V and the "V" at the end indicates it is Lunar Lake Processor. This laptop, on the other hand has a Core Ultra 7 255H and the "H" at the end indicates it is an Arrow Lake Generation Processor. Now the difference between them is that Lunar Lake architecture is not tuned for performance, has only 8 Cores (4 Performance + 4 Efficiency) and its raw CPU performance is lacking for any CPU intensive workloads. This is basically Intel's answer to Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite based Windows laptops and focuses on high efficiency, very strong battery life and normal daily workloads. It barely reaches 30+ Watt even in demanding workloads. On the other hand, Arrow Lake is their mainstream performance Processors, replacing the Core i7/i5 H series Processors. The 255H has 16 Cores, can work up to 120W and offers high level CPU performance, similar to AMD's Zen 5 based Ryzen AI 7 HX Processors. It also has better energy efficiency over 13/14th Gen H Series Processors.
Integrated GPU Performance: The Lunar Lake 258V comes with Intel Arc 140V whereas Arrow Lake 255H (On this one) comes with Intel Arc 140T Graphics with 8 Xe Cores. Now architecture wise, the integrated Graphics on Lunar Lake (Yours) is more advanced than the one in Arrow Lake but Arrow Lake can feed more power to the iGPU. So, overall raw performance numbers are almost similar. However, I have read in many reviews, for normal iGPU accelerated tasks, like watching Videos with hardware decoding, Video encoding using Intel QuickSync and similar tasks, The one you have in Lunar Lake, consumes lesser battery and can provide better battery life.
Hope the above explanation makes it clear for you.

The Arc 140T iGPU is in theory a good performer, should be around the old Nvidia mobile 1660. But it's still new so the benchmarks aren't consistent, sometimes slower than the older 140v and sometimes faster depending on the game/benchmark. Maybe a driver update will bring an uplift.

I bought this and have been using it the last few days. I confirm that it has an OLED touch screen. Just wanted to add that this looks like a very good laptop and super fast. Minor complaints would be, to accommodate the numeric keypad the main keyboard is shifted to the left with respect to the touch pad and the speakers are like 2 downfacing slots in the front (again no space due to the numeric keypad) but the speakers sound great.
