I don't understand the price difference

I feel like this is ok to post here, but please tell me if I'm violating the rules.

I'm new to laptops, and while I understand all the specs, im struggling with the wildly varying prices of laptops which seem to share similar specs

For example, https://www.amazon.de/Lenovo-ideapad-Notebook-i5-7200U-Windows/dp/B01M065BLD/?tag=digidip-21

when compared with

The only differences I can see between these two is the extra ssd on the hp and the fact that the hp is 4K, but how does that justify the extra 1200 pounds? I may be being an idiot, and feel free to tell me if I am, but I always assumed that laptops without graphics cards would have a price cap of around 600 based on what's inside them so I don't understand the 1600 price mark

Thanks in advance
