This seems pretty under-specced for a $2500 laptop from a mass-market brand with notoriously poor build-quality. And by "pretty", I mean extremely.
Even if they had a current gen CPU and 32GB ram it would still be pretty meh in terms of value. I guess it must feel pretty good in the hand now, eh? But what about in 6 months when it starts overheating and dies 2 weeks after the end of its one-year warranty - like every other HP laptop I've ever owned/used? What about their buggy drivers and useless thunderbolt USB-hub "docks" that the company outright refuses to support? HP is losing Enterprise market share for some pretty good reasons, and "prettiness" wasn't one of them.
Oh, but it has Optane enhanced storage, so they have Intel's blessing to mislead customers by marketing this as having "48GB MEMORY".... neat.
