HP 17 laptop Core i3-N305 16GB 512GB SSD 17.3" HD+ Silver Office 2021

Large-screen everyday laptop

The HP 17 laptop is built around a 17.3-inch HD+ display with a 1600 x 900 resolution and an anti-glare coating. An Intel Core i3-N305 processor with eight cores and a 3.8 GHz turbo frequency handles office applications, web browsing and video playback. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a 512GB PCIe SSD provide responsive multitasking and fast boot times. Windows 11 Home and an Office 2021 licence are included.

Sustained workload behaviour

The eight-core processor maintains its 3.8 GHz turbo across extended sessions such as document editing, spreadsheet calculations or streaming. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics shares system memory and stays within the thermal envelope of the slim chassis without throttling during typical productivity tasks. Fan noise remains low under continuous office loads. The 250-nit panel keeps text readable in normal indoor lighting.

Chassis and connectivity

The silver chassis measures 15.78 x 10.15 x 0.78 inches and weighs 4.56 pounds, making it portable enough for daily carry. Ports include one USB-C 5Gbps data port, two USB-A 5Gbps ports, an HDMI 1.4b output and a headphone/microphone combo jack. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth support wireless peripherals and networks. No backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader or SD card reader are fitted.
