I want to buy a new laptop and i found this one:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05825229

Hp pavilion 15.6 with touch display.
I wanted to know if this is a good laptop but there is no information about this model.
Is the display good? is it bright?

I have 4 other options:

-Lenovo IDEAPAD 330S 81F5006NAR:
i7 8550u
1080p ips
AMD gpu
4gb ram (upgradable to 12gb)
16gb intel optane

- ASUS S510UF-BQ146T:
i7 8550u
1080p
mx130 gpu
6gb ram (upgradable to 16gb)

-ASUS UX430UN-GQ033T:
i5 8250u
1080p
mx150 gpu
8gb ram (not upgradable)
I read about this notebook and some people were complaining about pwm flickering on this model. Is it really that bad? Is it noticeable?
I like this laptop but the pwm thing worries me.

-HP Envy 13-AH0053LA:
i5 8250u
1080p
Intel hd 620
8gb ram (not upgradable)
Does this one also have the pwm problem?

I want a laptop with a good display. Wich one of this has the best display? I like the hp one for the specs but i dont know anything about the display.

I live in Argentina so i dont really have many other options.

Unless you can see and touch the candidates, your best bet is to find a review of the exact unit you are considering.
Pay particular attention to the display brightness and analysis.

Do you really need touch?

I love the Lenovo keyboards. But it would appear that the display on the Lenovo is not 1080P

The better display panels will be ips and not tn.

Whatever you do, buy a laptop with a ssd or plan to convert to a ssd yourself.
It makes all the difference in the world for performance.

If you will use this for gaming, look for a discrete graphics chip.

I personally use HP Pavillion 15-au114tx and it works great. But since you mentioned that the RAM in HP Envy 13-AH0053LA is not upgradable, then I would suggest you to not buy this. Although it also depends on the intensity of work you do with your laptop.

Do let me know what you think :)
