I have owned this model for about a year, bought it new from HP. The keyboard is backlit and large, the touchpad is responsive. I have the non-touch, the screen is fine for office work. The machine is well built, build quality similar to a Macbook with full aluminium frame. The HP Wolf security software is annoying, and randomly spikes CPU usage when it auto-scans. Overall, it's a slightly above-average business machine.
I have two of these. One non-tousv in 15.6 inch for work and another one exactly this for my daughter for 8th grade. They are really well built. We both love these laptops. I bought my daughter's refurbished from ebay few months back for a similar price.
This CPU has mediocre battery life and only so-so graphics if you're into getting serious work done. 32gb is nice, but it's definitely old tech. For $364 it's pretty good but not great. The 12th gen CPUs improve things a lot. 13th even more. 14th not so much. 15th (288v etc) massively better. 16th even more so.
The earlier gens are definitely bad. I would not even consider 10th gen and earlier unless it's a specifically low power part for specifically low power, headless tasks.
