Screen, Ports, SSD and Camera are all acceptable for 1080 gaming, office and web work. A Backlit keyboard and upgradeable SSD are a plus at this price point.
The downsides of the older CPU compared to a newer one include shorter battery life and not suitable for onboard generative AI tasks (Web based Gen AI will still work fine).
If this is your budget and you don't need onboard Generative AI, then I would recommend this laptop for you. In order to get a significant upgraded CPU or build quality you're probably looking at $700-$800 and possibly getting lucky with a refurbished or open box unit, so I would call $450 for this Slick as long as the build quality is OK.
Mine came with Samsung 16GB 5600 and a Kioxia EG6 2230 512GB of memory mounted to an expander board so it could mount to the 2280. I am not familiar with Kioxia, though it looks like they are used in a lot of Dells. The 5600 speed of the memory will hopefully boost the iGPU performance compared to the stated 4800 memory. This HW differs than the ADATA Memory+Kingston SSD listed on Nimo site, though I didn't see those brands advertised on Amazon's site. The wifi card is installed into a m.2 slot and there is a 3rd empty M.2 slot. It seems most of Nimo's other laptops with slower CPUs don't come with the extra M.2 Slot and the wifi card is soldered directly to the motherboard. At some point I might try to mod this laptop by adding a OcuLink port that is attached to the free M.2 slot to allow the use of an external GPU, if I get bored. The CPU/iGPU, serviceability, and price point was why I got this. The 8 core and 16 threads should hold out for many years.
The CPU/APU has two heat pipes along with two fans. The bottom has a very large vent w/ screen for intake, though the fan exhaust is rather small with the hot air being blown into a ~5mm gap in front of the screen. The chassis is made out of Aluminum, the construction doesn't feel as though as my work's Dell laptop, though it doesn't feel flimsy. This is more of a consumer product than my work's laptop as users can be rough with devices they don't own. The 15.6" Nimo was 1.623kg vs. the 14" Dell at 1.468kg. I did notice the screen on the Nimo can bounce around a little bit more if you are using it on the lap compared to using it on a table. I am unsure if this is due to the large screen of the Nimo or if the Dell has a sturdier hinge. I don't have complaints about the keyboard, and the touch pad is large w/ a nice tactile click. I didn't see brightness rating of the screen, though it was a lot brighter than I was expecting, for a budget system like this. I have no way to measure the brightness, though when I did turn it on, I do admit I squinted and lowered the brightness. I am typing this on the laptop with dim soft lamp to my side and I am sitting at about 20% brightness.
The iGPU in this is a 780m and it is funny to think it is much faster than my old 660 ti that I use to use years ago. The iGPU is a lot better than the typical iGPU and is slightly better than a GTX 1050 ti in terms of performance. I ran 3D Mark against this system and it fell slightly below average. This more than powerful enough to handle any lightweight gaming you throw at it. My biggest gripe about this system is the 60hz panel, I don't need more than 1080p for a screen of this size, though I wish it did have a 120-144hz panel and that may be something I change at some point as I am handy and like to tinker. I didn't push it much with any newer AAA titles, though I did try some lightweight games like roblox and left4dead w/o any issues. During normal use the laptop is very quiet, though when running time spy benchmarks, the fans did ramp up loudly. While being noticeable during high utilization, it wouldn't bother me, especially as I normally use headsets. The speakers on this and their sound quality are what I would expect at this price point.
I have been keeping an eye on Slickdeals for a Windows Laptop/tablet/2-in-1 as my work laptop is locked down and sometimes it is nice to have something portable. This will also be more of a device my family might use. In all I wanted portable backup windows laptop that has enough power to stay relevant for 5+ years, is easily serviceable/upgradable, and didn't cost a whole lot of money. I know for about $150 more I could get the 17" Nimo with double the memory and a slightly faster CPU for 33% more, though I didn't need it and wasn't sure how comfortable a 17" would be to use. I also checked out the Miniforms v3 as it had some interesting use cases for me as a 2nd monitor for traveling, though went this route as this is more serviceable. Most of the other laptops I saw on this site that were close to this price point that had discrete cards seemed to compromise too much on the CPU for my use case as well limited serviceability.

you'll need to upgrade the RAM, but that'd still come out to be cheaper for the HP
