$500 one is a 2-in-1 (flippable) with multitouch-enabled 400nits screen.
$450 has full-size keyboard. The screen is not multitouch-enabled and only 300nits.

This if you need a touchscreen and/or the 2-in-1 convertible form factor. Or if you want the brighter screen. Otherwise, might as well get the cheaper one. Personally, I'd just go for this for mere $50 extra.

Stop upvoting this junk and read the reviews on it. It's bad.

I agree, but that's what I found on HP's support and documentation page.

I purchased this Monday because I needed a new laptop (on a budget) with Linux and I prefer AMD.
I see the colors are less vibrant than my HDR UHD monitor, but the display is bright and sufficient for my first impressions.

I've installed Linux Mint 22.1 on it.
- [F10] to enter BIOS: disabled Secure Boot, changed boot order for USB thumb drive with installer.
- Touchpad, WiFi, Bluetooth work out of the box and the install went fine, but Grub2 didn't show. Rebooted with installer, used Boot Repair to fix.
- Boots fine now, but needs the latest drivers in the kernel: 'sudo apt install linux-oem-24.04c`
- Suspend and USB-C port closest to screen works best now with USB-C dock for UHD display and wired mouse+keyboard,
my other dock that I use for my Mac passes Ethernet and video fine, but not USB mouse+keyboard.

What doesn't work:
- Internal speakers (headphone port, Bluetooth, and USB-C video+audio to my monitor are temporary workarounds)

I may try the latest Ubuntu 25.04 Desktop next since there's been activity there to patch.

Would this be a good laptop for light photo and video editing? Looking for one for my sister but she will mainly be using it for school tasks.

This seems to be the best deal around for a 16 inch z 16gb ram with backlit keyboard. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Ubuntu 25.04 uses 6.14 kernel and internal speakers do not work. I believe it is related to Cirrus Logic audio amplifiers. If you update the kernel to 6.16.2, internal speakers will work. Ask me how I know. I do not know at what point a kernel update made the internal speakers work. I think this will be likely be fixed with the 6.17 kernel in Ubuntu 25.10 coming out soon.

Google "how to update ubuntu linux kernel" and follow the procedure for "using the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel PPA". It takes only a few minutes to do and your internal speakers will likely work after kernel update to 6.16.2. It worked for me.
