HP 17.3 laptop Linux i5-10210U 16GB 500GB NVMe 2TB SSD DVD+-RW

17.3-inch Linux business laptop

This 17.3-inch HP laptop ships new with Linux Mint Cinnamon. It uses a quad-core Intel Core i5-10210U processor with 6 MB L2 cache and a turbo frequency of 3.4 GHz. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives the 1600 x 900 HD+ non-touch display. The system includes 16 GB DDR4 memory and dual storage with a 500 GB NVMe drive plus a 2 TB SSD.

Suits office users needing a large screen

The 17.3-inch anti-glare panel and full-size keyboard help with documents and spreadsheets. A built-in DVD+-RW burner reads and writes optical media. Linux Mint is pre-installed for immediate use. Buyers who want a touchscreen or a higher resolution display should look elsewhere. Gamers or creators needing dedicated graphics will not be served by the shared-memory UHD 620.

Processor turbo frequency is 3.4 GHz

The Intel Core i5-10210U reaches 3.4 GHz turbo speed with four cores and 6 MB cache. This clock rate determines how quickly the laptop finishes burst workloads such as compiling code or loading large spreadsheets. If your workflow demands sustained multi-core speeds above this figure, this model will not meet the requirement.
