HP 17 laptop Intel Core Ultra 5 225U 12-core 16GB 2TB SSD 17.3" HD+ touchscreen Rose Gold

17.3" touchscreen laptop for everyday productivity

The HP 17 laptop combines a 17.3 inch HD+ touchscreen with an Intel Core Ultra 5 225U 12-core processor, 16GB DDR4 memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD. It runs Windows 11 Home and includes a fingerprint reader, backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth. The Rose Gold chassis measures 15.78 by 10.15 by 0.78 inches and weighs 4.62lbs.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 12-core processor operates at a 1.3 GHz base frequency and can reach a 4.8 GHz turbo frequency for burst performance. Intel Graphics handles integrated visual tasks without a discrete GPU. Under continuous load the integrated graphics and shared memory architecture manage thermal output within the slim chassis, while the PCIe SSD maintains steady read and write speeds for large file transfers and application loading.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that the 1600 by 900 resolution meets your workspace requirements, as the panel does not offer full HD pixel density. Confirm that the available ports — two USB Type-A 5Gbps, one USB Type-C 10Gbps with Power Delivery 3.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a, one HDMI 1.4b and a headphone/microphone combo — match your peripherals. Note the absence of an SD card reader and optical drive if those are part of your workflow.
