Is the quality on Thai better than Acer Helios? I've only owned the Acer for 15 months and the W key already broke off.
Acer is well known to be questionable build quality as they usually target lower budgets. HP has a broader range and I'd say this device is in the middle (not as bad as the average Acer but not as good as Lenovo/Asus).
Personally I'm more concerned in a $1.2k+ device with 512GB SSD + 16GB RAM. Upgrading those to 1TB/32GB alone would be ~$600 and you can find better deals in that case. If you are fine with the 512/16, this one is ok mostly due to the newer processor

good price, no? but yes the upgrades will be ridiculously expensive

Probably has a second SSD slot so that at least won't be hard to upgrade. Also depends on how the ram is setup, a LOT of the HPs and Lenovos last year with 16 GBs were a single stick with an open slot so the upgrade was only "buy 1 16 GB stick" not 2.
That could cut the upgrade cost in half.
Great deal.
