They both look fantastic on my new matte screen laptop in 2020. That's why updating your assumptions on the regular is a good idea. It's only 8 years later and this is already getting out of date.

I don't know why it says it has a touch screen, but it doesn't have one. The price premium over the 45% NTSC/250 nit version ("Standard") reflects the better light and color, not a touch screen.
The performance is good. I threw 6 Wavetable instances at it in Ableton Live before I admitted defeat. AMD set a new standard with the 2020 mobile chips. The only downside is I haven't had a matte screen in ages and forgot you can see the matte diffuser if you really look for it. But every single color except #FFFFFF is brilliant, and even that is fine. Off-center viewing angles can be a little funky even with the privacy screen off, but it's fine once you get used to it.
Buy another 8GB stick of RAM to fill the second slot to make it dual channel. It opens with a Phillips head screwdriver. HP posts service videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxMMjSF4QFw
