HP 17 laptop i3-N305 16GB 2TB DDR4 17.3" FHD Silver

Large-screen everyday laptop

The HP 17 laptop pairs a 17.3-inch FHD display with an Intel Core i3-N305 eight-core processor running up to 3.80 GHz. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a 2 TB PCIe solid-state drive provide ample space for documents, media and multitasking. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics handle the visual output on the 1920 x 1080 non-touch panel. Windows 11 Home and an Office 2024 licence are pre-installed.

Home and office users wanting screen space

This configuration suits students, families and office workers who prefer a spacious display for spreadsheets, video calls and streaming. The fingerprint reader and Wi-Fi 6 add convenient security and modern wireless connectivity. Buyers needing a backlit keyboard, a touchscreen, a card reader or discrete graphics for gaming or creative workloads should look at other models. The 4.6-pound chassis and 0.78-inch profile are less suited to frequent daily carry.

Eight-core N-series processor at 3.80 GHz maximum

The i3-N305 delivers eight threads with a 3.80 GHz peak frequency, a step up from dual-core entry chips for parallel tasks such as browser tabs and background updates. It is the single specification that determines whether the system keeps pace with your workload. If your applications demand sustained multi-core performance or dedicated GPU acceleration, this processor will not meet those requirements.
