HP 17 laptop i3-N305 8-core 16GB 512GB 17.3" HD+ Windows 11 Pro

17.3-inch HD+ laptop with 8-core i3-N305

This HP 17 laptop uses an Intel Core i3-N305 with eight cores reaching 3.8 GHz. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a 512 GB PCIe SSD provide responsive multitasking and fast boot times. Windows 11 Pro and an Office 2021 licence are pre-installed. The anti-glare panel runs at 1600 x 900 resolution with 250 nits brightness.

Suited to office work, study and media streaming

The integrated Intel UHD Graphics handles everyday applications and video playback without a discrete GPU. Buyers who want more storage or a dedicated graphics card for gaming or creative rendering should look elsewhere. The single USB-C port carries data only and there is no card reader. A fingerprint reader and backlit keyboard are also absent.

Sustained load stays cool and quiet

Under continuous workloads the eight efficient cores maintain steady clocks without aggressive fan ramping. The 6 MB cache helps keep throughput consistent during long compile or spreadsheet sessions. Thermals remain comfortable on the 15.78 x 10.15 inch chassis weighing 4.56 pounds. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth keep wireless links stable throughout the day.
