The laptop posted about in the OP is a touchscreen. 3.7 lbs for a 15" screen, which isn't too bad.

1080P/100% zoom on Windows is very harsh on the eyes of people pushing 40+...which is likely the audience for these. Someone younger is looking more at 1440P/2160P deals. FHD is good, but higher res...

The only thing I know about Windows S is in the article I linked in my previous post, which says it costs an additional $50 to upgrade.

Microcenter is currently selling the HP 15-dy1751ms. .7" thick, 3.7 lbs, which is very good for a 15.6 screen (although it's a home model, so don't expect an aluminum case). Very fast CPU. Major...

2- Non-Backlight keyboard.

i agree. especially on small laptops. most people increase windows scaling above 100% on small laptops with 1080 screens from what i've seen which completely removes the purpose anyway. 768 on a 15"...

For $100 more, you can get a better deal at cost, HP pavilion. IPS 1080p touchscreen and Backlit Keyboard. You tradeoff 512GB SSD with 256GB though.

Soldered-in RAM is actually pretty common these days on thin laptops. Examples are Lenovo Yoga 7xx & 9xx, Lenovo Carbon X1, Dell XPS 13 and all Macbooks.

Touchscreen on Windows isn't very useful without a 2-in-1 configuration.

Looks like it’s priced at $399 now. Not a bad deal. I’m ok with 720p, wish it had backlit keyboard but 512 ssd makes up for not having it.

Thanks for clarifying, yes fancy thin machines way more likely to have permanent RAM. Basic laptops rarely won't have at least 1 slot where you can install a 32gb module.
