I loved it... Hope does Too. But What about this?

Looks good to me, just that it misses out on a SSD and Free Microsoft Office

ssd is the not the much disadvantage for basic usuage hdd enough on ms office

Agreed, but longevity of the laptop must also be considered. My 7y old laptop with a Pentium processor had to undergo the SSD upgrade because HDD just wouldn't respond/get stuck majority times.

Another option that @hike bro can consider is to buy the laptop @Gobinaath bro says, then replace the HDD with a 250/512GB SATA SSD... Very cheap on Amazon...

I wouldn't recommend to buy a laptop without SSD in 2020. Windows 10 runs slow on HDD, I've one C2D PC with SSD and running Windows 10 version 2004, feels much faster and responsive than one of my i3 4th Gen laptop that has HDD on it.

Even for basic tasks I will recommended you to buy laptop with SSD and at least 8GB RAM.

Sure, you can buy laptop with 4GB RAM and hdd, but you will have to upgrade it to make it faster.

However, if you can run Ubuntu or any other Linux distro, then you can get away with 4GB RAM and HDD. Linux doesn't use much resources and it works faster in most of the computers even with HDD.

only those can understand the speed difference who are using Laptop/desktop at home with SSD and in office without SSD.
I operate my office PC which doesn't has SSD but having i5/8GB Ram but slow like hell.

At least in the IT field (major big companies), new office laptops come only with SSD, like my company.

I'll say go with the first one. Certain hp laptops are known to have wifi problems with certain routers, especially enterprise graded networks, like in schools and offices..
