HP 17 laptop 17.3 inch HD+ display

The HP 17 laptop uses a 17.3 inch HD+ screen with a 1600 x 900 resolution and anti-glare coating. It runs Windows 11 Home on an 11th Gen Intel Core i3 processor with four cores and eight threads. The silver chassis weighs 4.60 lbs and measures 15.78 x 10.15 x 0.78 inches. It includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an HD webcam and one HDMI 1.4b port.

Intel Core i3-1125G4 quad-core processor

The deciding specification is the Intel Core i3-1125G4 quad-core processor with a base clock of 2.0 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.7 GHz. It provides eight threads and 8MB of L3 cache for everyday multitasking. Intel UHD Graphics handles the visual output on the 250-nit panel. Buyers who need discrete graphics performance for gaming or heavy rendering should look elsewhere.

32GB DDR4 memory and 2TB PCIe SSD

The system ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD, giving generous headroom for large document libraries, spreadsheets and media files. The single SSD slot and absence of a hard-drive bay mean storage expansion requires replacing the drive. The three USB ports include one Type-C and two Type-A connectors, all at 5Gbps signaling rate.
