HP 17 laptop Intel Core i5-1135G7 12GB 256GB SSD 17.3" FHD Silver Windows 11 Home

17.3-inch laptop for everyday work

The HP 17 laptop combines a 17.3-inch Full HD IPS display with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 12GB DDR4 memory and a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD. Windows 11 Home-64 is pre-installed. Integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics handle office applications, video playback and light creative tasks. The silver chassis weighs 4.62lb and measures 16 IN by 10.25 IN by 0.75 IN.

Installation and common issues

As a complete laptop, no internal assembly is required; simply connect the 45W power supply and press the power button. Memory and storage upgrades are possible but require removing the base cover, which may void the supplier's upgrade seal. Driver updates for Intel Iris Xe and Bluetooth 5.1 should be run after the first boot to ensure stability.

Suitable users and alternatives

This configuration suits students, home-office workers and small-business users who need a large screen for spreadsheets, video calls and web browsing on a modest budget. Buyers who want more storage for large media libraries or who need discrete graphics for gaming or 3D rendering should look at other models. The 60Hz panel and integrated graphics also limit high-refresh gaming and colour-critical professional work.
