HP 17.3 laptop i5-8250U 32GB 256GB SSD 2TB HDD

Large dual-drive notebook

This HP 17.3 laptop combines a 256GB NVMe SSD with a 2TB HDD, giving fast boot times and ample space for large project files. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory and Windows 10 Home, ready for office suites, browser-heavy research and light content tasks. The quad-core Intel Core i5-8250U processor reaches 3.4 GHz turbo for responsive everyday performance. Non-touch HD+ resolution keeps text readable on the 17.3-inch panel.

Thermals and power in daily use

Shared Intel UHD Graphics 620 memory means the integrated GPU draws from the 32GB system pool rather than a discrete chip, limiting heat output during typical workloads. The 1600 x 900 display avoids the backlight demand of higher-resolution panels, helping the battery sustain hours of unplugged work. Fan noise stays low during document editing and video calls, rising only under sustained multi-core load. Power draw remains modest thanks to the U-series processor design.

Build practicality and connectivity

Silver chassis includes a DVD+-RW burner for legacy media access and an SD card reader for quick photo transfers. HD+ anti-glare coating reduces reflections in bright offices without adding touch-layer thickness. Standard Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet ports provide flexible network options whether docked or mobile. The 17.3-inch form factor fits common laptop bags while keeping the full-size keyboard comfortable for long typing sessions.
